In Primary 1 we have been learning about Goldilocks and the Three Bears in class. In the Active Learning Zone with Mrs Munro we have been using Yogi Bear to help us learn.

The Active Learning Zone has a Wii (from Mrs Munro’s house) and we have been using the Yogi Bear game from the recent film to help us learn in lots of different ways. The area was set up with comfy camping chairs and netting to make it look like a forest.

   

We were introduced to the game and we decided on rules when using the Wii. This is a one player game but we are allowed two people on it at a time. Only one person holds the Wii remotre. We take turns when playing it. We have to help each other. Collect cherry pies and watch out for porcupines. Our name was scored off on the list once we had a turn. But once everyone had a go then Mrs Munro cleaned off the name list and then we were allowed an0ther turn.

   

We were able to practise writing about Yogi bear at the writing table. The writing table was beside the Wii area so it was easy for us to go and write about Yogi after we had a turn. We wrote the names of the things we saw in the game and spoke to each other about it. We used the Yogi Bear writing card to help us with the words. There was paper with Yogi Bear drawings too that we could use.

                          

We also liked to draw pictures and asked mrs Munro to display our work on the wall.

   

After a little while we were given a Yogi Bear book to write or draw our ideas and thoughts about Yogi Bear. What he did in the game and how we helped our friends. After we had a turn we would go with our partner and write or draw in the book together. This is some of our writing. This writing was written with very little or no support from an adult.

   

   

   

   

   

                                                

We have loved using Yogi Bear to help us learn. What will be our next game? Wait and see!
