Due to popular demand here is a further instalment of news from the Bear Expert in F2.
The Bear Expert was put on the spot when she was asked lots
of questions from the children!
Some of the answers surprised the children, Liam asked
whether the Bear Expert slept with the bears, “No” was the answer, further
bafflement occurred when Tommie asked the Bear Expert if she liked to play with
the bears. “No” was the answer again! We
learned that they were a collection, and collections are a bit like ornaments,
to look at, (though Yoshua bear enjoyed a cuddle every now and then).
The Bear Expert was very good at geography too! She used a globe to show us exactly
whereabouts on planet Earth the bears were from, Russia, Holland, Belgium, and
America to name a few.
We were able to place the bears in size order, and counted
them after they had all been introduced. The Bear Collector has almost 100
Bears, and we impressed her by counting up to 100 in lots of 10.
Yoshua was the biggest bear and was valuable because his
value in money was lots, but old Bobby Bear was most valuable and precious as
he had been a special friend since the Bear Expert herself was in Foundation 2,
in fact that’s when she became a collector.
Do you or your child have any collections you could tell us
about, or perhaps bring to show and share?
Miss Angel collects soap, Mrs Dervey collects cups, and Miss
Williams collects buttons.
