Nursery Bears

The Nurs­ery Bears

Our bears are a part of the fam­ily at Green­fields and play a very impor­tant role in the children’s learn­ing experiences.

The bears sup­port the chil­dren in devel­op­ing their social and emo­tional skills. As they learn to love, care and look after the bears they can reflect on their own expe­ri­ences and begin to under­stand their own feel­ings and emotions.

The bears help to cre­ate a valu­able link between home and nurs­ery which can help your child to set­tle and feel secure within the nurs­ery environment.

Par­ents are asked to sup­port their child with their play and learn­ing by tak­ing part in their imag­i­nary world and talk­ing to them about their bears activ­i­ties and feel­ings. Par­ents are also asked to write a mes­sage in any lan­guage in the teddy bears book to share with the other chil­dren. This gives the chil­dren an oppor­tu­nity to develop their com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills by shar­ing their sto­ries with their friends.
