# Pre School - Bear Hunt

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/news/IMG_1248.jpeg)   6 October 2023

In literacy this week we have continued exploring our story of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. We have now reached the dark forest and explored the different sounds we would hear in the forest, selecting pictures of the animals we would find. We used the sensory box to find hidden bugs and twigs. We created forest pictures, painting with twigs and leaves.
We then went outside to make a bear cave, collecting twigs, leaves and recalling the story as we worked together to make the cave. I think the bear would be very happy.
