Hedgehogs Classes
Hedgehog class is made up of a group of nine children who are supported by Mr Robinson, Mrs Simpson and Miss Tolley. The children within Hedgehog class form part of our Pathway One (KS1).
In Hedgehog class, we ensure that we continue to build upon and extend the experiences that children have had during their early years. We strive to move towards more structured topic based learning, related to the National Curriculum. This is balanced with opportunities to learn through exploration and play. All children have targets in English and Maths and are supported to overcome their barriers to learning. Each term the children will encounter a different topic which allows for exciting and engaging learning experiences for all. We complete a phonics lesson every morning.
We ensure that communication takes the lead in all we do. We want to ensure that we develop children’s confidence and independence to communicate, allowing them to access all activities and routines. Hedgehog class aims to facilitate all communication needs and promote an inclusive classroom environment. Within the classroom, children will experience working in small groups and on a 1:1 basis. The classroom organisation and overall layout encompasses a range of diverse considerations to meet the needs of all children. Wherever possible, our aim is to make all resources and equipment accessible for the children; allowing for independence. We want our children to feel safe, confident and comfortable and we will continually encourage them to become more independent learners. We take the steps to become more independent in readiness for Key Stage 2.
In Hedgehog class, we recognise that all our children will regularly display new skills and achieve new things. We make sure that we celebrate every achievement no matter how big or small. All our learners are valued, and we aim for every child to do their very best to achieve their full potential. We are proud of all of the pupils in Hedgehog class, and we will always aim to inspire every child to do their best
