One of the children’s favourite stories in Nursery is “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” and if you click on the link below you can see the author Michael Rosen reading the story which we feel sure the children will thoroughly enjoy. Ask if they can remember the special word for the person who writes a story as we have talked a lot about the term ‘author’ as well as ‘title’ and ‘illustrator.
This is such a brilliant book to read over and over again and Michael Rosen’s voice and facial expressions are brilliant. The repetition helps children to recall the story and retell it themselves. See if they can join in with the story and actions as many of them love to do this in Nursery.
Ask them what they think happened to the bear and how they think he was feeling at the end of the story. Who does he live with or does he live alone? What will he eat for his tea? Maybe they could make a cave for their own teddy bear using an old cereal box or using material, such as towels, under a chair or a table?
