What a great way to start Term Two - with Teddy Week! We read the story of Corduroy and A Pocket for Corduroy, felt real corduroy and made our own Corduroy bears using different visual art techniques. We measured, weighed, counted, grouped and sorted teddies in maths; we drew and painted teddies and made teddy bear accessories. We discussed the difference between real bears and teddy bears and formed opinions about which we thought was better. The children were treated to (and had a good laugh at) a re-enactment of Goldilocks and the Three Bears by the teachers and then discussed whether we thought Goldilocks should go to jail! Our teddy week culminated in our Teddy Bear's Picnic which was hosted by our Year 6 buddies. They did an amazing job creating a wide variety of stations for our teddies to engage in, taking all ownership of the afternoon. Thank you to our lovely families for sending in some delicious teddy inspired snacks for our picnic. What a great week for all!
