Think It Friday - Bears

Last Friday, we heard a story about bears (We're Going on a Bear Hunt) and talked about other stories we know that have bears. We talked about real bears and bears in stories - where they live, what they eat, and what else they do. After some discussion about our options, we were let loose to design or make something about bears to share with the class. This could be a song or poem, a design or model, a story or book review, a play or puppet show - it was really up to us! Wow, there are some creative thinkers in Piako Rua! We came up with lots of different ideas. We had lots of fun designing, researching, making, writing, reading, building and presenting!
