It’s a wonder the poor old grizzly hasn’t been hunted into extinction, such is the frequency of bear hunts in primary schools. But the popularity of this ursine search is hardly surprising when you consider the ease with which it can be tied to different areas of the curriculum.
Geography activities are particularly well suited to Michael Rosen’s tale of make-believe adventure as children can re-create the landscape of the story outside of the classroom, and then draw a map to represent the journey made.
Geographical understanding thus becomes embedded as pupils transpose the images in their heads onto the physical world, using directional language as they do so.
