Click on the links, or just scroll down to see all the things I have been doing. I arrived
at Camelsdale First School just in time for assembly and they even let
me light the staff candle on the assembly wreath!
All the
school children and the teachers had brought along their own teddy bears
so that I would have plenty of company and all their bears had labels on
saying where they would like to pretend that they came from.
The children all knew three things about the place on their label, it was all very interesting. Even
a well-travelled bear like myself still has plenty to learn about the
world, it seems!
Then, to my delight, I was told the children had learnt a song about me that their Mr. Wilson had written especially for my visit. If you click on the photograph you can hear them singing it to me! (If it’s a bit jumpy the first time you listen to it just play it through again.) Here
is a picture of the biggest and the smallest bears in school today.
(The smallest bear is sitting on my boot – in case you failed to
spot it!). Some of the Pandas thought that must make me the middle-est
bear but I wasn’t absolutely sure about that.
I was to
spend the rest of the day in the Reception Class with the Pandas and the
first thing they wanted to do was to show me the accommodation they had
prepared for me.
I tried
out the bed and decided that it was all MOST suitable!
During the rest of the day I helped the pandas make up an amazingly exciting space adventure story in which I was the star. The children did some great pictures and recorded all the words and then one of the Dads helped them turn it into a Flash movie.

The Alien planet drawn by Abigail Mr Scott, the Dad who helped turn the pictures into the movie, popped back lots of times during the week so that the Pandas could make sure the story was right. The children helped him and also saw the movie at each stage of its production. Click on the button to play the movie.
The children and their teddies all had lunch outside, but nobody seemed to have brought any marmalade sandwiches.
In the afternoon I helped this little girl send an email to her Granddad and then she helped me send one to Great Aunt Isobella.
Then I got to play outside on the ride-ons!
By the time the children went home I was very tired and they settled me to bed before leaving. One or two kind souls peeked through the windows to check I was quite alright before they finally left.
During lunch play one of the mums wanted to draw me and said she was planning a painting of me at Camelsdale School. I had to stand very still but it turned out I was extremely good at this! Click
