I have realised how much all the children in class 2 like to think about things and share their ideas, so each week I thought it’d be a nice idea to have a “Big Question” to think about over the week, which can help us in our topic and science lessons.
So, our first “Big Question” is:
“Can a hedgehog live in the Arctic?”
Have a think about this question and share your ideas with someone at home. We will learning about hedgehogs and other animals – from this country and from polar places – this week!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Mr Baines
That’s a really interesting question. I’d love to know the answer too! One thing I do know about hedgehogs is that babies are called hoglets, which I think is so cute!
Mrs Hearson
Really?! I didn’t know that and I’m sure I should have. I’ll think about your big question too but we do know rather a lot about the Arctic in class 1 so I’m sure our class could answer your question quite easily.
We’ll have a chat on Monday and get back to you!
Ms Lamb
They curl up and hibernate in leaves in this country – would they hibernate in mini snowballs?
That’s a very interesting idea, Mr Wilson. We learnt that Arctic foxes curl up into a ball too, but they do at least have a large, fluffy tail to keep them warm!
Ms Lamb, we’re very interested to find out what you think in Class 2!
NO! becos it hibnaites in the winter.
it likes sumer.
Nellie
That’s a very good point, Nellie! I recently learnt that hedgehogs wake up from hibernation for a few weeks in winter, eat some more food to build up their fat, and then go back to their hibernation sleep again.
