On Monday Miss Baillie took all of the infant children for a big ‘Winter Read’. They read the story ‘The Polar Bear Son – An Inuit Tale’.
The story is about a lonely old woman who adopts and raises a polar bear as if he were her own son. The polar bear provides well for her and the villagers soon become jealous. They force him to leave his home but eventually a mother’s love conquers all and they are reunited together. This story is based on a traditional Inuit folktale.
The children have been asked to complete some work based on the book to display in our infant winter wonderland corridor.
