FUZZY ARRIVED!!!!

We had MOST SPECIAL DAY today!!!!

Fuzzy, the teddy from USA, arrived to our school by mail. It was SOOOOOOO exciting opening the box.

Fuzzy is just wonderful. It is the softest bear in the world (so we believe!). We play with it during the breaks. And it accompanies us while we're working.

It was very interesting to see it's passport. We immediately made plans about making Slovenian stamps and put them in.

Fuzzy's diary is very beautiful. We're looking forward to writing down about our school days with Fuzzy. Fuzzy is gorgeous!

BEAR'S DAY IN SLOVENIA

Dear teddy friends,

reporting a little late we'd like to tell you that on 25th of November our classroom was quite more crowded as usual :) Our teddies came to school with us and we had a beautiful day together.


Teddies introduced themselves and each of them had a different story to share.

We wrote down the stories of their lives.

We took pictures to make a photo album.

In the school computer room we made colorful drawings in Paint. Figures of bears, ofcourse. And we loved it!!!

We know this - WE LOVE TEDDIES !!!

Our book - Little bear

This is our book about Little bear. The text is in a short version but tells the same story. We´ll also put on Twinspace some photos of us making the story and tell you how we did our work.

Teddy Bear Day in Maine, USA

On Teddy Bear Day we all brought our teddy bears to school. The bears worked with us. They did dot-to-dots and read with us, and we made them their own paper bears, and they even came to Morning Meeting. No bears were allowed in the lunch room, and no bears were allowed in the Art Room because they make messes. We had lots of fun.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF TEDDYBEARS

Soft, fluffy, with a crooked ear or with a path. 25th of November is a holiday of the most lovable plaything, the best children's friend and an irreplaceable cuddly toy - a teddybear.

International Day of Teddybears started right in the 100th anniversary of the toy - in 2002.


In our library there is a huge collection of teddybears: big and small, white and colourful, more and less fluffy. We also discover a history of the holiday, the most famous bears, books about teddybears and bears. In the exposition there can be also found poems about bears and beautiful portaits of teddybears created by school's day-room pupils.

We invite you to visit our exposition.

Teddy Floppy-Ears - my friend

Miś Uszatek (loosely translated as Teddy Floppy-Ears) is a Polish character from the book and animated TV series of the same name. He was created jointly by Polish writer Czesław Janczarski and cartoonist Zbigniew Rychlicki.



Teddy Floppy-Ears and friends


Miś Uszatek and his friends - Prosiaczek (Piglet), Króliczki (Little Rabbits) and Zajączek (Little Hare), as well as Kruczek the Puppy - were loved by pre-teen kids. At the same time, Uszatek, a teddy bear, played the role of a friend from kindergarten.



He was also liked by parents, as he would always go to bed at appropriate hour, singing the goodnight song:
"It's time to go to bed, as the moon is shining.
Kids like teddy bears, teddy bears like kids”.

Teddy Floppy-Ears



The cartoon is also popular in other countries. In Finland it is known as Nalle Luppakorva, and in Slovenia as Medvedek Uhec; both nations still play it on a regular basis. Also, in Hungary it is known as Füles Mackó, in Catalonia (Spain) as Les històries de l'osset Faluc, in Macedonia as Мечето Ушко (Mecheto Ushko), in the Netherlands as Teddy Hangoor and in Japan as Oyasumi Kuma-chan.

We draw a portrait of the bear.
