TEDDY BEAR - Sleepover'

On Thursday 29th January Reception Class had a ‘teddy bear sleepover’. This was part of a nationwide early year’s initiative to launch the ‘Year of Reading’.  

The children (and staff) came to school in their pajamas, dressing gowns and slippers and brought a teddy bear/ soft toy.  We began the day by making the toys a bed to sleep in.  The children demonstrated a range of skills, designing, cutting, sticking, peeling, joining and collaborating.  It was lovely to observe each child having their own ideas and talking through them, accessing the resources that they needed independently and persisting with their plan even when it didn’t go quite as they wanted.  The children demonstrated high levels of concentration and engagement and they showed great satisfaction and pride when they had completed their beds. 

After lunch we took the bears and their beds to the school library where we enjoyed sharing books.  The toys were introduced to the enchanting world of storytelling by the children and the bears were perfect listeners. 

Before home time (for the children) the toys joined in with some yoga, singing and delicious hot chocolate before they were tucked in for the night, by their owners.    

Apparently, it was far too early for the toys to be in bed and so they were involved in a few adventures; exploring the mud kitchen, having fun on the field and eventually ending the night with their very own midnight feast before tucking themselves into bed for the night.  

The next morning the reception class were greeted by their friends at the classroom window, before being reunited and spending the rest of the school day together. 

This was a very exciting opportunity to be involved in and all the children teddy bears and staff thoroughly enjoyed the day/ night.
