Learning in Hedgehogs

 

Life in Hedgehogs Class

Play and exploration underpin everything we do in Hedgehogs.  The children have autonomy and choice throughout the day; building independence, skills and knowledge through areas that interest them. We also work collaboratively on larger projects, providing opportunities for the children to apply their skills in meaningful ways. Our priority is to build confident, resilient leaners who are eager to challenge themselves throughout the day.

 

Meet the class teachers:

       

I am Karen Evans. I've been teaching for over 25 years, and have a strong passion for learning through play. The philosophy at Danehill attracted me to the school, however since starting in 2021, I have realised how special this school is. The children, families and staff work together to build a friendly school where every day is different.

 

I am Meghan Upton. I teach Hedgehogs on Wednesdays and also teach Foxes Thursdays-Fridays. My previous job was a Forest School teacher and I enjoy leading Outdoor Woodland Learning (OWL) for all children in Hedgehogs and Foxes class.
