Welcome to the class page for Humble Hedgehogs! Our class teacher is Miss Neal who is supported by Mrs G and Mrs FW. We have a really exciting year ahead and are looking forward to enjoying our time together in school, exploring our new topics and encouraging you to achieve your best in all that you do during your time at Oasis Academy Bank Leaze.

 

Each term there will be a class newsletter uploaded to this section.

This will tell you all about what we are learning about, when our PE days are and what books we will be reading.

For Year One’s Geography work this term we have been thinking about our local area and where we live.  We found out why we have addresses and then wrote postcards to our families. 

In History we have been learning about old and new. We have sorted items based on if we think they are old or new and we have created timelines of our lives.

IN our maths lessons we have explored using different types of manipulatives to help us t solve problems. We love practising our maths on Sumdog on our ipads.

In our Personal Development lessons we have been identifying different feelings and learning about safe adults who can help us.
