We heard the story of WereGoing on a Bear Hunt and then actually had an interactive walk through of thestory - we walked through dangly green things as grass, we paddled in shallowrather than deep water, some were brave enough to squelch in the mud (chocolatepowder, cornflour & water), then braved the deep dark forest which was bushtrimmings attached to reduced gazebo frame, then onto the cotton woolsnowstorm, Crawling through a tunnel
