Hi Benny Members, Welcome to your first, very own newsletter, I am so excited! Now I will be able to share all my news with you - where I have been, what I have been doing and, most importantly, letters, photos and pictures from you, my Benny Bear Club members! Donʼt forget to tell your close friends, and your brothers and sisters about me - they can join too. They will also receive a membership pack with one of my new Benny Teddy Bears. The trouble is – I think I need more outfits; perhaps you can help me design some? Ummmmn, what is coming next month ... I know, Easter! Perhaps an Easter outfit would be good, with yummy Easter eggs in my pockets!
March - Whatʼs On this Month? March is the beginning of Spring. It will be so nice to come home from school in the daylight. There will be lots more time to play out in the garden and look at all the new flowers, plants and wildlife beginning to stir from their winter sleep or, as we bears call it, hibernation. What can you see in your garden? I have seen:
a blackbird
a squirrel
a crocus
a daffodil
(Match the list here to the pictures on the right of this page) Tell me about four things you have seen in your garden that let you know it is nearly Spring. You can use the new Benny Bear postcard (available from Shine) to write about them, or just send me your drawings and photos in an email or letter – but donʼt forget to put your name and age on them!
