Tradition is very special at Norwich Nursery School. They have enjoyed some activities and special events each and every year, for many years. Some even as old as when I was there…. and that is old. Thursday was one of those special traditions, the teddy bear picnic. All week long the children talked about teddy bears and read books that included teddy bears, made dancing teddy bears with construction paper, as well as special woven placemats for the big picnic. Sadly, the weather has not cooperated at all this week as we have had daily rain, but that didn’t stop the spirit at NNS. Thursday all the children brought their favorite bears to school for the picnic. The children enjoyed the picnic indoors with a blanket set out on the floor, their newly made placemats and the guests of honor, the bears. At the end of the picnic, each bear received an award. Emma’s bear got “best dressed” and Abby’s was “best accessorized!” They both brought their favorite bears both named New Bear. They were given to the girls by our wonderful family friends who were our neighbors when we grew up here in Norwich. It was another really special week and sadly, there are only 2 left.
