Say Hi to Hedgehogs!

The Cubs have loved learning facts about hedgehogs after reading the book ‘Say Hi to Hedgehogs!’ by Jane McGuinness. We learnt what they like to eat (spiders, slugs, butterflies, fruit and lots more!), that they hibernate during the winter, they are nocturnal – which means they sleep during the day and are awake at night and their young are called hoglets. The children loved learning about hedgehog habitats so collected leaves and twigs for them during our Autumn Welly Walk and made our own hedgehog home back at class as well as painting hedgehog pictures using tools to make their quills.
