Date: 3rd Feb 2022 @ 2:45pm

Good morning Hedgehog families,

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Our learning behaviour of the week is, 'Don't Give Up' and our value is 'Courage'. 

Vocabulary words this week are: 'selfless' and 'diversity'.

Reminders:

PE Kits to be worn on Monday and bring swimming kits Monday

This week, it is Children's Mental Health Week and Internet Safety Day. 

This years theme for Children's Mental Health week is, 'Growing Together'. We will be encouraging children (and adults) to consider how they have grown, and how they can help others to grow. I have attached our timetable of activities that we will follow throughout the week. If you have any plastic plant pots that you would be happy to donate please could you send them in by Thursday. 

On Wednesday afternoon, we will be joining Adders to learn about Safer Internet Day. It is celebrated globally in February each year to promote the safe and positive use of digital technology for children and young people, and to inspire a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically, and creatively. The children will be learning about the four areas of risk: content, contact, conduct and commerce and will be finding out how to keep safe. 

Friday 11th February - Break the rule Valentines Style! Non-School Uniform. Your child will need to bring in 50p per rule broken and after school, there will be a cake sale so donations of cakes would be appreciated. 

White Rose Maths App

To support maths arithmetic strategies, there is a free app you can download. It is engaging, fun for children and it builds fluency and skill in addition and subtraction. It's predominantly aimed at KS1, however, I know it will support children in Hedegehogs as it covers the quick mental arithmetic strategies we learn and use everyday. Here are the details to find out more - https://whiterosemaths.com/latest-news/introducing-our-brand-new-app-1-minute-maths
