Story Time!
Hello Foundation! It’s Mrs Marsden again. Today I am going to read, ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ written by Michael Rosen. Make sure you join in with the actions when listening.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin…
Video – We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Here are a few questions and things to talk about after you’ve listened to the story.
- The first obstacle encountered by the family is grass – long, wavy grass. What noise do they make?
The fifth obstacle encountered by the family is a snowstorm – a swirling, whirling snowstorm. What noise do they make? - The family see, ‘One shiny wet nose! Two big furry ears! Two big goggly eyes!’ What did they find?
- Where are the family at the end of the book?
Did you enjoy listening to the story?
Activity
Choose a bear and act out the story with your family. Ask your adult to hide it somewhere in the house – no peeking! Can you remember all of the obstacles?
See you next Friday for another story!
