Harry Hedgehog

This morning when Fe'ao arrived at school she said that her family had seen a hedgehog while they were walking to school. She asked if we could go and see it because she wasn't sure that all of Room 4 had seen a hedgehog before. We went on a lovely walk. It was quite cold but we soon warmed up. Meet our little Hedgehog friend he ended up being named Harry.

Here is a picture of Harry Hedgehog and an awesome story that Nathan wrote about the hedgehog. 

We then discussed the way that they hedgehog looked. Room 4 said that he hedgehog was

• spiky
• had sharp spikes
• prickly
• little eyes
• snout like a pig
• little mouth
• tiny feet
• moves slowly

We also talked about what it might be doing walking around on the field.

We decided it was looking for food, these are the types of food that we think he would like.

• Beetles
• Worms
• Eggs
• Snails
• Spiders
• Caterpillars
• Slugs

A great story about Harry Hedgehog.

If your child brings home the readers Hedgehog is hungry or Hungry Hedgehog talk about the hedgehog we saw and what they already know about hedgehogs.
