Date: 20th Apr 2020 @ 10:35am

Good Morning Hedgehogs 

I hope you all enjoyed your first day back of home learning after the Easter holiday.

Do remember to keep in touch via our Hedgehog’s class discussion. There is also a weekly discussion where you can upload your work, share ideas and ask for help. I will be adding later today which items of work I would definitely like you to post but please add as much as you wish as well as other things you have been doing! It is always lovely to see what you are all getting up to! There have been a few issues with the website recently but these have hopefully now been resolved. Fingers crossed!

Also just to remind you, each Monday I will attach the overview for that week’s learning so you can access all the hyperlinks to websites/resources. You will also be able to check each daily blog for the answers to the tasks you have been set.

Our topic for this week is Florence Nightingale. You may have heard about the Nightingale hospitals that have been, and are being built, around the country. Florence Nightingale is an important figure in British history and we are going to spend the week learning about her and why she is so famous.
