Introducing my friends

---

My home is in the Owl class in Ipswich where I live with lots of my friends. We have lots of fun playing and working with the children and we all enjoy travelling to lots of different places. We're going to be telling you all about the adventures that we have and all the mischief that we get up to. First I think you need to meet all my friends:

*Benjamin and Emily are brother and sister bear who always travel together. They have been to lots of exciting places and particularly enjoy the seaside. Their best adventure so far was when they were employed as crew on an overseas adventure to Sweden.
*Bertie Bear is a rather stay at home bear but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have lots of exciting adventures too. He likes to stay at the school keeping an eye on everything so his adventures are rather close to home.
*Phoebe Bear is my special friend. She was my first friend when we started school together.
*Ted Bear likes to go home with the children at weekends and so has lots of exciting adventures and makes a lot of new friends.
*Hedgehog (the bear) is our world wide traveller. His claim to fame was visiting the place that our travelling hero Paddington came from - Peru. He has also been to some other countries in South America as well. He is the bear who has travelled the furthest out of all of our friends. Maybe because he's very small and he can smuggle himself into people's backpacks very easily.

Hello George. Thank you for putting my amazing photo of me in Peru on the travel blog. It certainly took a lot of effort to get this photo. A big thank you to Katherine for giving me ride in her back pack. I'll send you a photo of me in Bolivia soon. Love Hedgehog.

Hi George. I am busy in the Owl class getting the toys ready for the start of term. I will try and be more adventurous this term and go visiting somewhere fun. Love Bertie.
