Our TASC was to design and make a lifeboat.
We used the TASC wheel to help us to GATHER, IDENTIFY, GENERATE, DECIDE and IMPLEMENT our ideas on how to make a lifeboat. When the sunny weather returns we will float our boats and EVALUATE them. We worked reciprocally in pairs and were resilient in our learning.
Great work Hedgehogs!!!

MATHS
This week in maths we have been looking at number doubles and number halves. We learnt that double 2 is 4 and half of 4 is 2. We are learning that doubling is the opposite of halving!!
Keep practising Hedgehogs, perhaps you can blog some number doubles?

Boats and Ships
Today we looked closely at pictures of boats and ships so that
we could draw a detailed picture. We used different pencils to get
shades of grey and thick and thin lines.

Water
Hello Hedgehogs,
Welcome back, hope you all had a good holiday despite the rainy weather. This term our topic is WATER. Can you generate some ideas on what you know about water and what you would like to find out? Perhaps you can blog your ideas!

Poetry
We have been reading some poetry by Andy Tooze. He wrote a poem called’ Favourite Words’
Slurp, freckles. rhythm,
intuition, parakeet,
sparkle, sausages,
tambourine, sweet
sigh, dusty, whisper
liquorice, Zanzibar,
gorgeous, murmuring
antelope, ta ra.
Have a go at writing your own favourite words list poem. Think carefully about which words you really like the sound of and write them down. You might want to re-arrange them so they sound ‘right’. You don’t have to use as many words as Andy!
Happy writing….Mrs Allen

Mathematical Stars!!!!!!
Well done to Erin who was a mathematical star last week because she understood bridging 10. Keep up the good work Erin!! 
This week our star is Bethany. She is more confident now to use the strategies she knows and will ask if she doesn’t understand. Great job..keep it up!
Super sentences!
Class 4 have been busy first thing in the morning editing to improve sentences.
They have been thinking carefully about full stops and capital letters, WOW words and connectives. Look at the sentence below- what a difference!
a snail moved across the wall
A small, shiny snail slid slowly across the old, damp wall leaving a slimy, silver trail.
They added alliterative describing words and even extended the sentence. A super class effort- well done.
Have a go at editing this sentence and post it on our blog.
the children were in the sea
