Today we had great fun building dens that we imagined were caves for bears – just like the one in our key text We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. Our visiting expert Chris demonstrated to the children the skills they needed to use and then set them off to work in three teams. The children worked collaboratively using garden canes, tie wraps, tarpaulin and stretchy tubes to create their caves. They were so engaged, enthusiastic and really enjoyed the physical challenge of building something together… even in the pouring rain!
