Well done
Key Learning intentions for this week: • Finding the missing
sound in each word, these get harder as you work through the
sheets. • Can you add the correct number of dots to each ladybird,
before completing the Maths problem? • Leaning about what will sink
and what will float making a prediction of what will happen. •
Following instructions to make Hedgehog biscuits.

read by Libby
Questions about the story:
• Do you remember the Hedghog’s name?
• Why was she building the hedge?
• Do you remember the other characters in the story?
• Which character came first and last?
• Why is it important to be kind to our friends?
• Why is it important to share?
Writing activity:
Today we will be writing our favourite part of Don’t hog the
Hedge using the worksheet. You can print off the worksheet or
create your own!
You will be writing your favourite part of the book first.
Parents, using a yellow pen for your child to trace over will
help their letter formation if they are finding writing tricky.
First, we need to look at the total number at the end and see
what it is. The end number is how many spots we need to draw on the
ladybird! When you have drawn on the dots I would like you to write
how many spots are on each ladybird.
Extension: Once completed the ladybird spots worksheet your
child can try and make their own ladybird spots! They can draw the
spots on first and add how many they have.
different movement cards for you to follow, these can be printed
or used on the computer, the link can be found below.
Movement cards
will allow a large object such as an orange, to float and not
touch the bottom. You will also need the items listed below on the
print out to start, before placing each object into the water get
your child to predict if they think it will float to the top or
sink to the bottom, after placing each item into the bowl of water
get your child to mark on their sheet or on a separate bit of paper
the result. Sink or Float sheet
After you have finished your first sheet, now it’s your chance
to be creative. There is another sheet for you to use, this time
you get to pick the different objects that you will be putting in
the water! You will be able to record this on the sheet, predicting
what you think will happen before putting the object

You can also use a green pen for your child to mirror underneath
which can help and guide them when writing.
When your child has compeleted the writing activity we would
like a picture to match their sentence.
Warm up activity before starting our writing.
Seqencing activity:
Once you have completed the writing activity above you can try
and recall the story and put the story cards in order from
beginning to end?
Parents, encourage your child to talk about the story out loud
and descibe
We would love to see their work on the ladybird spots!

sheet as well. Sinking and floating vegetable sheet
As the children are experimenting with what will sink and what
will float, you are able to ask them different question, to help
with their compression of the experiment.
Question:
• Does an orange float when placed in the water?
• Do you think an avocado will float? Why/ Why not?
• Did the coin sink to the bottom or float on top?

the pictures on the cards. This can be done independently as
they need to look at the pictures.
• Why do some items sink to the bottom of the bowel and others
float to the top?
• Why do you think some fruit sinks and some float? Is it
because it has seeds?
• Were your predations correct? • Why do you think some of
your
predictions where correct and some of them where not?
After completing your experiments and answering the questions,
the children are able to watch a short video to further understand
floating and sinking
Have a fantastic time conducting your experiment!

Warm up activity before writing.
Afternoon: What is Hattie the hedgehog saying? Hattie the
Hedgehog is thinking of an object and then saying it. But we need
to find the missing sounds in the words so we can make the word!
Parents, I have included words that are easy to do and some that
are tricky to do. Work together with the children to sound out the
letters!
Afternoon: Flower number line This afternoon we are going to
create our own number line! We can make this number line and use it
when we do our maths! This is a great activity to do to help with
number formation as well as ordering numbers.
Afternoon: Play dough Hedgehog
This afternoon let’s use our fingers and build with play
dough!
Once we have our play dough in front of us, let’s begin to roll
it into a large ball, then using our fingers to make the play dough
into a teardrop shape,
Afternoon: My 5 senses Let’s learn about our senses, did you
know that we have 5 senses that help us every day to understand the
world around us? Let’s watch a short video and discover what they
are. After watching the video, you can ask your child some
questions.

The worksheet would be great to use however, if you are unable
to print write the words down on a normal piece of paper.
To make this number line you will need:
• Play dough • Lolly pop sticks • Cupcake cases • Paper •
Coloured markers • Glue
First, cut out small circles to put inside your cupcake case.
Then your child is to write the number on the circles from 1-20.
Then stick the circles inside the cupcake case with the number
facing up. Stick the cupcake case onto the lolly pop stick. When
completed all 20 mix them all up for your child to order by placing
them into their play dough.
Have fun!
pushing the flatten side of each biscuit to form the face.
They are then able to roll smaller balls to make the eyes and
nose. The children can go on a stick hut in the garden if it’s nice
outside to find for the hedgehogs spikes or you are able to use
spaghetti also to make the spikes.
After Making your hedgehog you are also able to make as many
different hedgehogs as you can, maybe you able to use more play
dough to make the spikes this time.
You are also able to use a play dough mat where it asks to you
to make your

After reading the book Don’t hog the hedge this morning, let’s
have a go at making our own space to hibernate! We are able to
build a den that we can play in this afternoon. If its nice weather
this can also be done outside!!! Materials:
• Sheets • Blanks • Rope/pegs (something to
hold the blanks and sheets in place)
• Chairs/couch/table (something to give height to the den)
• Cushions
The children are able to use these materials either inside or
outside. Draping the blankets/sheets over the object giving height
to the den, you are able to then place the cushions inside to you
have something to sit on.
This afternoon we are going to be making a leaf hedgehog, he
will look like he is hiding in the leaf’s getting ready to
hibernate. Materials:

backing trays with greaseproof paper. Step 5. Use a tablespoon to
scoop balls of dough onto the lines trays, shape the balls into
teardrop-shapes biscuits and flatten the pointed side of each
biscuit to form the face. Step 6. Bake in the oven for 10 to 12
minutes until golden. Leave to cool on the baking trays for 10
