Eric the Hedgehog
Reception class was very lucky to have a special visitor – Eric the Hedgehog. In our local school community, we have Pat and Corinne who look after poorly hedgehogs before returning them to the wild. They bought Eric the Hedgehog for us to meet before he was released. We learnt what Eric likes to eat, how to look after a poorly hedgehog and how to help hedgehogs in the wild. We also found out that hedgehogs can swim and they have a tiny tail.
After meeting Eric the Hedgehog some children decided to design and create hedgehog homes.

After our picnic lunch we had a treasure hunt around the grounds using our senses to spot the clues. It was a great day!
