Build a Bear Trips

All year 1 children have visited the Build a Bear Factory Shop in Birmingham this week.
We travelled by train from Acocks Green station to Moor Street,Birmingham. At the Build a Bear shop we chose our class bear and talked about the kind of bear we would like. We gave it a voice and 30 special wish hearts. In our groups we had to choose an outfit for our bear not more than £10.
 Class  1P have got Charlie Bear and Class 1TA have got Billy Bear. It was a great trip and we have got lots of children who would love to work at Build a Bear when they grow up! A huge thank you to all the adults who helped on the trip. Well done children,you were fantastic!
