Primary Worksheets: Hedgehog
Primary worksheets on the topic of the hedgehog designed for primary school students. A basic passage with questions at the end to answer, testing the students comprehension levels.
The hedgehog is a wild animal but is a friendly spiky mammal that can be found all over the world. They are well known for the spikes they have on their backs.
It got its name because of its weird scavenging habits. They snuffle through hedges in search of their favourite food of small creatures. The hog part of their name came from the pig-like grunts it makes when it is on its quest looking for food.
They are nocturanl creatures, spending most of the day sleeping in a nest or under bushes. They like to live in moist places either in the over-ground or underground. They like to find holes or abandoned tunnels to sleep in. You can find them in woodland areas, farmlands, gardens or parks!

Basic Tips
When teaching a new concept to a student, make it as visual as possible. Concepts become more comprehensible. A standard lesson should follow this basic structure:
- Introduction: gather what knowledge the students have on the topic. Assess and evaluate your level to base how much assistance they require throughout the lesson
- Concept: teaching the actual topic of the lesson. Highlight the difficulty the students are having and apply the appropriate action. For example, if they do not understand the meaning of a word, get them to highlight it for further studying in the future.
- Evaluation: conclude the lesson by getting the students to feedback what you have taught. Ensure they comprehend the topic and know the main points.
Build the confidence level of students through active participation. Encourage projects for them to do what they have learnt into practical use. The more engaging the lesson is, the better the result.
