Hedgehogs - Wednesday 22nd April
Date: 21st Apr 2020 @ 12:42pm
Good Morning Hedgehogs 
I hope you all are well and are keeping busy.
Please do check into the weekly discussion today. This is where you can upload your work, share ideas and ask for help. I have added which items of work I would definitely like you to post (your dairy entries, a piece of maths work you are proud of, your X-ray pictures with descriptions and your Chris Haughton’s inspired artwork) 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.
