The Everywhere Bear

Product Information

PE days: Tuesday AM (indoor) and Friday (outdoor) Please make sure that your child's PE kit is brought in on a Monday ready for the week. My son and I first enjoyed a book by this pair last year, when my son was obsessed with It's a Little Baby. So after reading that at least a thousand times, I was delighted when I was sent The Everywhere Bear, even though I knew I would probably know all the words off by heart by the end of the week! I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books.

Find out more Visit your local library The Everywhere Bear is a gentle story about a class of children who take home a toy bear each weekend and share photos of their fun times together. I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs. There are a number of wonderfully crafted puppets in the production, skilfully manipulated by Johnson and Bruce and designed and made by Jan Zalud. From Matt and EB, to a cheeky seagull, a satisfied cat and a scampering mouse, they bring the aesthetic of the book truly alive onstage and add extra levels of delightful characterisation and vitality to the show. Absolutely! It's a beautiful children's book with gorgeous illustrations and I'm sure all children will enjoy it!

Our Journey in Primary 1 - LT Scotland

Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta. We will also be preparing for our Saint David's Day Eisteddfod. We will be exploring Welsh castles, traditional food, danceandstories! In "The Everywhere Bear" by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Rebecca Cobb we get to take a look in a school. We visit Class One, led by Mrs. McAllister. Not only are there a bunch of great kids in the class, they have a very special friend- the Everywhere Bear. He sits on a shelf and he gets to go and have adventures with each kid. On one journey, he accidentally gets lost and we experience him going on an adventure that no one could have predicted. Lottie Johnson and Calum Bruce are our delightful storytelling, singing puppeteers, who carefully escort EB and Matt through their adventure, performing numerous characters on the way. At times it’s perilous for the small bear, and rather sad for Matt, but the performance is beautifully engaging and funny, punctuated by Julian Butler’s charming songs. With a captivated audience keen to help and calling out suggestions, the action moves colourfully along before ensuring there’s a happy ending.

One of the things I appreciate most is that each child is different. There are a variety of characters to relate to, each with differing appearance and hobbies. I really like that the Everywhere Bear gets to play with each of his friends differently. The text features a lot of rhyming which makes the story quite fun and I feel like it's very encouraging to try new things. My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Before you start reading look at the cover and imagine together why the story might be called the ‘Everywhere Bear’. Read the story aloud, pausing to think about what might happen next when the bear is washed down the drain and what the children’s favourite place might be. Join in

A scavenger hunt around your house, can you find 1 or 2 items beginning with each letter that is in the words HAPPY EASTER? The perfect book to read aloud and introduce a class bear at the start of a new year. I have heard this book read to both a Nursery/Foundation and Class One/Two group and it was met with equal enthusiasm. I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married. When you read the book again children might like to join in with parts of the story, for example some of the things you children do with the bear at the weekends or by completing some of the rhymes eg give it a cuddle, tumbled into a puddle. They might like to spot the names on the children’s trays in the classroom illustrations. Talk about the story Which illustration or part of the story do children like best? What do they like about it? Would your child have liked anything different to have happened in the story? What would your child like to do with the Everywhere Bear if they brought it home from school or nursery? Listen to a song of the story Things to make and do Play the story A gorgeously evocative musical tale of friendship, adventure and imagination, with a slightly smelly, yet well-loved bear.

Welcome to the home school learning experience. Every week I will be putting a weekly plan on here for you to complete so that you can continue your learning while school is closed. There is a literacy and a maths activity every day and a topic activity once a week. I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him). Overall, I really enjoyed it. It's a lovely little story with literal highs and lows. I'm sure that any child will love this! Hope you all enjoy the holidays, I thought I would set you a small fun challenge to do with your family. You could all have a go and see who can find the most items.
