EYFS Adventures: We’re Going on a Bear Hunt!
Today we brought the magic of “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” indoors!
Despite the rainy weather outside, nothing could stop us from going on an adventure. Here’s a look at some of our exciting indoor bear hunt activities and all the learning that took place along the way.
We read the story aloud, using actions and sound effects to bring each part to life:
- Swishy swashy grass,
- Splash splosh through the river,
- Squelch squerch through the mud,
- All the way to the deep, dark cave!
The children enthusiastically joined in, building confidence in language, sequencing, and storytelling skills. Some even started to create their own versions of the journey!
The children then explored our natural objects such pinecones, stones, wood, and conkers. Using these, they created their own bear faces – look how creative they have been!
And finally – using a variety of small construction materials, the children worked both independently and in small groups to design and build the perfect cave for a bear to live in. This hands-on, imaginative activity sparked so much creativity and collaboration.
WOW! What a busy Friday they have had!
