(...) "The observation of nature, both individually and in groups, strengthens children's confidence in their own thinking abilities, the willingness to give and receive help, learning from their own and other people's mistakes, openness to different opinions and the ability to argue their own."
(from National Indications and New Scenarios)
A hedgehog accidentally falls into the empty fountain in front of the school. We notice it and let the children observe it. Their amazement and interest give rise to many questions and hypotheses; where is his mother? Will he be hungry? How did he get there, and how will he get out?
The hedgehog is a common animal in the countryside. It may seem like a shy animal, but in reality it allows itself to be observed if it is not disturbed excessively. Despite being shy, it is not difficult to manipulate if you use delicacy.
