Reception Hedgehog Rescue

Date: 29th Nov 2023 @ 12:26pm

This week the children have been reading the story 'Oliver's Wood' which is all about an owl called Olliver who stays up late on day and discovers the sun.  He is so excited that he wants to tell his friends hedgehog and badger but they are all asleep.  The children have enjoyed retelling the story and finding out more information about nocuturnal animals.  The children we lucky enought to meet a real life hedgehog Norris from Blackpool Hedgehog Rescue.  The children learnt about how to care for a sick hedgehog, how they use their sense to find food and what they like to eat.  We followed up our visit by creating our own hedgehogs at the creative table and writing about them.
