- Learning about bears and hibernation

- Taste testing porridge

- Learning about different lengths and sizes

- Developing mark making skills through drawing activities , e.g. bears!

- Retelling the stories through role play activities

For our Letters and Sounds activities we will be focusing on segmenting and blending words through fun activities and games.
