All About Bears!!!

Hello everyone,

I would like to give a warm welcome to Marceau and Vidyut who joined our class. They are lovely boys and we are very happy to have them in Lower Pre-Primary.  They are taking their first steps in school and we wish them good luck.

Over the last few weeks, we had lots of fun learning about bears. Our entry point was a great success. We had a lovely teddy bear picnic, and all children brought their favourite teddy bear from home and prepared sandwiches for all kids and teddies. The picnic was delicious and afterwards we enjoyed fun bear games. 

We read many stories about bears, sang bear songs, counted and sorted bears according to different categories such as size and colour and made arts and crafts related to bears.

The kids loved the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’. After listening to the story, we created our own forest as well as the house of the three bears. All children helped to paint daddy bear, mommy bear and baby bear then they brought three chairs, three beds and three bowls to the bear’s house. The children enjoyed playing in the new corner that we created. 

We learned about small, medium and large and played different games with items and photos in different sizes.

After acting out the story of Goldilocks and the three bears, we made and tasted yummy porridge. It was a great experience. 

We learned about six types of bears (koala bear, polar bear, grizzly bear, brown bear, black bear and the panda bear). What do they like to eat and where do they live? We looked at some photos and information books and each child told us which bear they like the most and why.

We read the story ‘We are going on a bear hunt’ and then we made our own special bear masks. Our exit point was a real bear hunt in the park. It was such a great adventure and the children were so happy and enthusiastic to search for some bears. They found five bears hiding behind trees and after singing a bear song to the bears, they received a hint that helped them to find a bear box full of bear cakes. What a great way to end our bear unit. 

We celebrated Lital and Teagan’s birthdays. They both turned 4 and we wish them all the best! Thank you for the delicious cakes. We also had a farewell party for Lital. We wish Lital and her family good luck in their next adventure and we hope to see a photo of Lital in Australia with a real koala bear.
