Teddy Bears’ Picnic

Lower School children arranged a teddy bears picnic this term to help raise money for Medical Research into Children’s Illnesses at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

All the boys and girls brought their teddies to school for a teddy and geography activities day.

Reception Class introduced their bears to the other children and took their teddies the Senior School grounds to study leaves and insects for their Autumn project.

Year 1 had a teddy bear picnic whilst Year 2 followed a route on a map of the school and grounds to find Paddington Bear.

Boys and girls in Lower 3 learnt the techniques of orienteering, as they tried to hep Snowy Bear find his way back to the North Pole using a compass.

In Lower 4, children used photographs and plans of the schools and grounds to discover where a lost teacher bear had been and then gave directions to guide him back to the classroom.

Head of Lower School, Marilyn Fenn, said, “We were overrun with teddies in the Lower School which meant we raised lots of money to support the Children’s Hospital. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the day and got to practise lots of geography skills during the activities.”
