Where’s That Bear???

On Tuesday 23 September, the children attending Ziggies After School Club went on a Bear Hunt. Some of the children brought their own bears to help. We dug in the sandpit to find lots of small bears hiding from us and then we reburied them so that other children could find them later.

‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen is a very popular book with its repetition that all the children can join in with, and its a great build up to the end when the bear actually goes on a people hunt!! The children loved the story and joined in with the actions.

After the story, we made our own bear pictures showing scenes from the book. We used tissue paper for trees and cotton wool for snow, all with a generous helping of glitter to finish them off nicely. We also painted our own bear faces on paper plates and did the usual selection of word searches, puzzles and colouring pictures to remind us of the story. 

Ziggies After School Club will be back on Tuesday 30 September, from 3.15pm – 4.15pm in the Middle Block Hall. We will be reading ‘Pants’ by Giles Andreae, which always brings a smile as so many of the children (and some brave adults) arrive with their pants on their heads!! So if you’re in year 1 or year 2, please come along with your grown up and a copy of the book (if you have one), and any brothers or sisters you may have, to join us for some stories, craft and fun.
