Our last week in Hedgehog class

The children in Hedgehog class have been enjoying the sunshine and their last week in Hedgehog class.

Hedgehog class have worked so hard this year and we are very proud of them. Miss Glover and Miss Miller are going to miss them very much! 

Teamwork

This week Hedgehog class have been working with year 6 to do some art work. The children have really enjoyed making new friends and the year 6 pupils were very helpful. The children are producing work to go in the school halls to show how fantastic The Oval School is. 

Happy birthday Queen Elizabeth!

Last Friday we had a fantastic day celebrating the Queen's birthday. The children all looked very smart for the party.

We went to the cooking room to see some of the cakes that each class had made and we were very impressed with their hard work.

We had a great afternoon watching all the classes perform their chosen song or dance. 

It was a wonderful day and the rain managed to stay away for most of the day! 

Super hero day!

We had a great day in Hedgehog class yesterday to start our superhero topic! The children made fruit smoothies to give them lots of energy to save the world!
