What's this bear thing they bring home?

[harrisey]

Ds is home today with a bear with a rucksack - for being 'good at drawing and gaelic'.

No note or instruction from so far fab teacher (he's in Primary 1)

Its supposed to have 'adventures' with him, so he says. Its the Glassgow school's September weekend so we have the bear till Tuesday. I was planning very little other than playing outside and taking it easy. Do I have to have an adventure? Id my ds going to be eternally looked down upon if the bear does little more than play football in the garden and maybe go to a friends house and tesco?

I thought a good treat for being good would be NOT having to do anything on the holiday weekend???

Dd1 went to a different school in P1 so I have never come across this before, but think I have seen it mentioned on here, which is why I'm posting.

mb - you dont have enough to do !

Squonk - lolol!

Ours is sitting onthe storage heater drying out. Images of it going back to school on Tuesday with a singed bum!

I know this thread is probably dead, but had to mention about the time we had Barney Bear. I know I shouldn't have found it funny, but Barney had spent his previous trip going to a grandad's funeral, and had personally released a balloon into the air with special message from him written on it. Barney even recommended a charity his other hosts could donate to. That was a difficult act to follow.

Well, Cu is away back to school with creepy photos of him going to Morrisons, riding ds's bike and drying on the heater! Plus one (seperate) fo the teacher of him having a nice big G&T and a bag of crisps once ds was in bed (I'm a teacher myself, I would really appreciate the humor!)

Read it and weep, Mum who gets it next weekend! Live up to the Morrisons trip!

Oh I am dreading this. I know DD's school have had one in the past but not sure which class it is that does it.

I am sure one mumsnetter took a photo of the bear with another soft toy sharing a bottle of beer.

I got a very appreciative note from the teacher 'looks like Cu had a great long weekend at your house!'
