Welcome to Hedgehog Class!

Our class is made up of 15 enthusiastic Foundation Stage Children, 2 highly experienced teachers and our lovely teaching assistants Mrs Ansell (Mon, Tues, Wed)  and Mrs Boddy (Thurs, Fri). Our teachers are very passionate about early years and are dedicated to developing a love of learning and discovery.

To nurture our natural curiosity and develop awe and wonder, we love to explore outside in all weathers and find out about the world around us through a 'hands on' ethos. We are encouraged to ask our own questions and experiment to find the answers. We learn best when we discover for ourselves, nurtured and guided by our teachers.

We believe that working together is an essential part of developing our social and emotional skills. We work collaboratively in lots of ways; talk partners, team work to build and create, earning class rewards to name a few.

To help us become lifelong learners we think it is important to develop independent skills and have ownership of our learning. We take responsibility for our growth by choosing our next steps together and talking regularly about the challenges we face.

We are courageous and practice our resilience through risk taking and perseverance in solving problems in our child initiated play.
