Year 1 (Hedgehog Class)

A very warm welcome to all the children, parents and carers of Hedgehog Class!

We are very excited to be back and hope that you all had an enjoyable summer. The children have settled really well into Year 1 and we have already done some fantastic work. Our half-termly newsletter will be displayed below and will also have been sent to you via Parentmail. Please do have a read through and come and ask us if there is anything you are unsure about.

We have an open door policy which means we are here to answer any question - no matter how big or small! We love to celebrate all the things that happen in Year 1 so do keep visiting this page to see what is going on.

Mrs Turner, Mrs Snee and Mrs Pawsey.
