In science, Class 1E have been learning about nocturnal animals and we thought it would be nice to make one of our own.
The children studied lots of images of hedgehogs and then we modelled with clay – focusing on using pinching techniques to create the hedgehog spines. The children had a lovely relaxing afternoon sitting on the field in the shade painting their hedgehogs and then while they dried, we went on a hunt to create nests.
A great discussion took place about habitats and we decided that gathering sticks, moss and grass would be good materials to build a nest for their hedgehog.
