Hedgehog Class
In Hedgehog Class, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, which supports children’s development through purposeful, play-based learning. The curriculum is delivered through engaging topics and themes, with learning embedded in both structured activities and continuous provision.
Each week, we introduce a new theme using carefully chosen stories or books. This forms the foundation of our planning, inspiring a range of activities that support children’s development across all areas of learning. Alongside planned sessions, children also explore and learn through continuous provision—where they lead their own learning in a rich, stimulating environment.
Our planning is flexible and responsive. We build on the children’s own interests to ensure they make meaningful progress throughout the year. Learning is assessed and extended on a moment-by-moment basis, allowing us to tailor support to each child’s individual journey.
We value strong partnerships with parents and carers. There will be opportunities throughout the year to speak with the class teacher and discuss your child’s progress.
We also use Seesaw to share updates on your child’s everyday learning, including those wonderful WOW moments that showcase their achievements and discoveries
