"We've been on a Bear Hunt, it was such a beautiful day!"

Wow what an exciting morning we had today, as soon as we came into school we found a letter from the class bear........'Dear Children, Some of my friends have been playing hide and seek in the woods, let's go on a Bear hunt!' and that is exactly what we did 

Quickly changing into our wellies and wrapping up warm we all began our trek whilst chanting the words to the story...."We're going on a bear hunt, we're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day, we're not scared" It was a glorious sunny day and we were all very excited.  Uh uh grass, long green grass........well, we couldn't go over it, couldn't go under it, so we went through it! Swish, swash, swish, swash, was the noise of the grass against our legs.  Very soon we reached the mud, thick, oozy mud.....we didn't go over it, we didn't go round it, oh no, you guessed it, we went through it! Squelch, squerch, squelch, squerch it went as it oozed up our wellies   Then we came to the forest, the deep, dark, forest, and we were careful not to stumble, trip, stumble, trip. There we found all the class Bear's friends hidden in a variety of places, in, on, under, beside, next to, through, on top, in between, we were so delighted to find them and as we tiptoe, tiptoed into a narrow, gloomy cave there was the largest of Bear's friends sat waiting to be found 

Suddenly we pretended we could see something........what was it?.......one shiny wet nose, two big furry ears, two googly eyes.......IT'S A BEAR!!!!!!!! Quickly we went back through the cave.....tiptoe!, tiptoe!.....back through the snowstorm....hoooo woooo!, hoooo wooooo!....back through the forest.....stumble trip!, stumble trip!......back through the mud.....squelch squerch! squelch squerch!.....back through a river......splash splosh! splash splosh!....back through the grass....swishy swashy! swishy swashy! and back through the classroom door BANG!

Wow, what an amazing time we had finding all those bears but we all decided that we're not going on a bear hunt again!!!!!     What about a lion hunt?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
