The aim of the Jenny and the Bear poem is to raise awareness of the dangers of second hand smoke to children and more importantly their parents and carers. Jenny and the Bear is a poem of a young girl and her teddy who are exposed to second hand smoke. Over the next few weeks Nicola will be working with a small group of children using this resource to develop their understanding
However we recognise that you may also like to have a copy of the poem which was adapted by, Rosie our Kodaly tutor.
The link will take you to a pdf publication of the poem which you can share with your child.
We have also attached the completed results of the baseline questionnaire taken in the early level cloakroom in April 2015.
Jenny and the Bear
Jenny has a special bear, she takes him everywhere.
One day when they were out with mum, they all got quite a scare.
It rained and poured and they got wet, it really was bad luck.
When they got home, mum made hot drinks to help them all warm up.
Mummy lit a cigarette and had it with her tea.
The next day they both felt sick, the doctor they did see.
He said smoking hurts our lungs, and avoid if it we could.
“Please smoke outside” is what he said to mum, who said she would.
Take 7 steps from your back door and keep the smoke out there.
Now Jenny and her bear want us to know that young lungs need clean air.
