Hedgehog Class (Early Years Foundation Stages 1 & 2)
Hello and welcome to Hedgehog class webpage. The teacher is Mrs Solari, supported by Mrs Moore, Mrs Ham, and Mrs McConnell.
In Hedgehog Class the children are encouraged to be enthusiastic, creative, embrace new challenges, and be ready to begin their exciting journey through school life.
The children have the opportunity to learn inside or outside through most of the day, either out in the garden or under the purpose-built canopy.
In the Summer term, FS2 children visit Basildon Park for Woodland School where they are supported as they explore, investigate, use their imagination, and challenge themselves in natural surroundings.
The children’s learning and development is recorded in Learning Journeys, which are regularly shared with both adults and children throughout the year. We welcome contributions from families as these can help us appreciate the child as a whole.
