We had a learning experience day on Friday where the children were invited to bring a bear to school. Throughout our topic the children had explored different bears including; polar, grizzly and teddy bears! When the children arrived with their teddies we read to them during our Guided reading, the bears sat in our carpet spaces while we ate our snack and they sat on our tables keeping look-out while we went outside to play.
During circle time we discussed what kind of bear we had brought, named them and told everyone what we used our bears for. Some bears helped us with emotions, when the children felt sad they often cuddled their bears. Others played imaginary games with their bears. To end the day we had a bear banquet, full of bear-themed treats and games. The naughty bears were up to no good and we had trouble keeping them on the ground at the end of it all!
Thank you to all of our wonderful parents for engaging in this activity with your child at home.
