Hello and welcome to Hedgehogs' class!  We are a reception and Year 1 class, and Miss Booth is our teacher, and we are very lucky to have Mrs Gill and Mrs Pinkerton to support us with our learning.

Our classroom has many areas for us to explore, play, and learn, which are changed regularly based on our topics and interests.  We are proud of our work, and our teachers display our work for everyone to see!  

We are also fortunate to have such a wonderful outdoor area and we do a lot of our learning outside; whatever the weather!  We also have an amazing wildlife area where we make dens, look for mini-beasts, explore, and use our imagination.  Our outdoor space is now even more exciting, as we have a new sandpit, water run, music station, book nook, huge balance scales, den-making equipment and so much more! 

Our spring topic is 

'Superheroes'

Miss Booth also plans from our interests.  This keeps us busy, engaged, and excited to learn!

This term, PE is on a Wednesday (Gymnastics).  Forest School is on a Friday afternoon.  Miss Booth would like us to wear our PE kits to school on these days.   It is important that we have our names in our PE kits and our school uniform.  No jewellery and hair tied back please.

Home Learning

Year 1 - Daily phonics to reinforce our ELS Phonics work.

Reading Raffle -  Our children are encouraged to read to an adult at home, as this will embed what they are doing to phonics and ensure that they become more confident readers.  Aiming for 4-5 times a week is important.   Decodable books will be sent home, along with a book for pleasure. 

(All children will receive a raffle ticket and will be in with a chance of winning a brand new book!)  

The children are enjoying our new 'Essential Letter Sounds' phonics scheme.  

Here at Lowther Endowed School, we aim to instill a love of reading from the very beginning of a child's reading journey.

Thank you for visiting our class page.
