Hibernation fascination

It’s been a week of hibernation fascination this week in Transition!

As the weather has felt very autumnal this week, we have turned our attention to thinking about animals that hibernate. We did some research to find out which animals hibernate and which do not.

We were also interested to find out where animals hibernate. Some make a nest of leaves, whilst others find caves or wet mud to settle down for the winter.

Once the weather dried up, we set out around the school to collect leaves and twigs to create a hibernation home for a hedgehog and a dormouse.

We are very excited to show all of the grownups our knowledge of hibernation in our upcoming Coffee Morning!

We have read lots of lovely stories about hibernation this week including Go Home Little One and The Big Dreaming. The children have enjoyed creating a hedgehog by printing using a fork to create the spikes, playing a hedgehog counting board game and creating our very own clay hedgehogs! We practised our listening skills when we played a game Bears Like Honey.
