Wild Wednesday 

June 15 2023 



The Bears were excited today to have a visit from Gordon of Wild Weeks. We sat on the magic carpet and were taken on a magical journey through imaginative storytelling, meeting lots of woodland creatures and insects on the way. 



Bears enjoyed making simple puppets and taking them to the woods to create a ‘story’ of their own creatures, using the natural materials found in the woods. We used mud and grass as paint, with leaves, twigs and greenery to create a story scene. Later, the Bears used all of their imagination to write a story all about their creatures and share it with the class.

The children have created their own plants and creatures with extraordinary features using various different material. They then wrote about their features and what species they are.
