Refer back to the story of Bear Snores on from yesterday (see yesterday's link to the story on YouTube).  Talk to your child about the setting (a cave) and explain it is where the story is taking place.  Draw a picture of a cave and think about words to describe what a cave is like eg dark, gloomy, narrow, cold, wet, damp etc.  Link the story to our topic learning of hibernation.
