“We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day. We’re not scared! Oh no, what’s that? Two big, goggly eyes, two big, furry ears, one wet, shiny nose. It’s… a… bear! Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The toddlers experienced their own bear hunt last week, acting out different parts of the story as we went along. Using picture clues and their binoculars, the children had to look for the bears that were hiding in five areas of the school. Following our pictorial maps, our hunt took us to the stage, dome, green field, chicken coop and our playground. On the way we discovered an animal that had two big, furry ears and one wet, shiny nose, but it wasn’t a bear, it was only Mishka the dog!
Miss Sian thought she heard a bear in her office so we went to search. We looked carefully through our binoculars, but all was okay; we did find lots of flamingos in her office though!
