WOW… what a day! On Tuesday, Hedgehogs’ ventured out and headed down to Arundel Wetlands as part of their ‘wriggle and crawl’ topic. We had such a splendid day full of pond dipping, bug hunting and very sunny picnic. Year Two were excellent and really followed the golden rules. Miss Hall was very proud to call them her class.

Year two started the day by going on a huge coach, which they were very excited about. We then arrived at our destination and the morning was full of activities led by special bug instructor at Wetlands. Firstly, Hedgehogs’ went pond dipping where they used nets and pots to catch a variety of minibeasts from a wetlands habitat. After that, we ventured into the sensory garden where Year Two went on a bug safari and explored a range of insect hotels, minibeast baskets and bug boxes. Then, Hedgehogs’ then had their picnic style lunch which was rather yummy! Finally, we finished the day with a walk around the habitat to see lots of plants, creatures and ducks too.

It was such a wonderful day full of fun, smiles and interesting facts. Have a look at some snaps below…
