Nursery found a hedgehog this morning asleep in our playground. It was far too cold and dangerous to leave him there, so we offered him warmth and shelter. The children really enjoyed meeting the creature and researching what hedgehogs eat and how we could look after it. The children found out that hedgehogs shouldn’t be out at that time of day and that it will soon be the time that they need to hibernate for winter in warm autumn leaf piles. We had a hedgehog story and watched a fact file for young children about British Wildlife. A day well spent we’d say! We are learning to be kind and get smart too.
