On Wednesday the children in Primary 1 visited the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.  We took our packed lunches and teddy bears as we were invited to a Teddy Bears picnic by Edward Bear.  We learned about SWAF-this is a special code to help us remember what bears and other living things need to stay alive. We played games, went on a hunt for Edward Bear and found clues about SWAF as we were searching for him.  We got the biggest surprise when we went back for lunch-Edward Bear was waiting for us with our teddies!  After lunch we played another game to show us what happens to the bears when the trees get chopped down.  Our final activity was creating an island for the bears-making sure they had shelter, water, air and food.  There were some very sleepy boys and girls on the journey back to school!
