We used guidance from the RSPB on how to make a ‘hog house’ for hedgehogs then split the class into 2 groups.  Each group designed and made their house.

We needed to make the box waterproof, make a door for hedgehogs to get in and out, thought of a name for each house then designed pictures and signs to go on the house.

We carried the houses up next to the den among the trees and put a weight on top so they didn’t blow away.  We finally filled the hog homes with straw to keep hedgehogs warm and dry while they sleep.

We thought they looked pretty good and we can’t wait to see if any hedgehogs come to stay in them!
