We have been learning all about nocturnal animals. We learned that during the winter when there is less food and the weather gets cold hedgehogs find a warm and sheltered place to rest. This is called hibernation.

We painted our own pictures of hedgehogs. 

When we returned to school after the long weekend we couldn’t find one of our hedgehogs! We looked all over the classroom for it. We then remembered all about hibernation. One of our hedgehogs had crawled under the desk and found a box to rest in!

It was hibernating!
