Teddy Bears Around the World

I Flew on this airplane from Jacksonville Airport to Chicago and then I took an even bigger plane to Heathrow Airport in London England. I was asked to go back to England with Ella’s Family to visit with them as Ella had been sick with a really bad cold. You see, Ella has Rett Syndrome and she needs lots of special care and if she catches a cold it is really bad for her. I couldn’t wait to visit Ella’s School as her Mum had told me that there would be all kinds of fun things to do there. I had to fly all night to get there and when we arrived it was morning. I had flown all night. The ride to Ella’s house was 20mins by car. They drive quite fast there but I did get to see some pretty flowers blooming on the way. I think they were Tulips and Daffodils.

The next morning Ella’s Mummy (or Mommy) woke me up early and gave me a Jumper (or Sweater) to wear for School Uniform. The children at Ella’s School Heritage House have to wear a uniform.

Ella was feeling better and ready to show me her School and her friends. We rode on her special bus. I sat on her lap as she sits in a chair with wheels. Ella can’t use her muscles to walk very well. It was good fun sitting on her lap as she gave me lots of hugs. I told her that her aunt in Jacksonville had asked me to send her lots of hugs and kisses!

Ella showed me this special chair. It tilts back so that you can sleep in it if you want to.

It was time to go swimming! I thought it would be too cold for me as I am so used to hot weather in Jacksonville so I was asked to be the life guard.

I could tell that Ella loves to swim. When Ella likes something she will lift her eyebrows up. Ella doesn’t talk like I do she has her own special language. She smiles with her eyes.

I was given a drink in a really cool cup. It was very easy to drink up that yummy juice. I didn’t spill any of it.

I played with all of Ella’s friends and we all had a turn with this bubble machine. The best part was about to happen.

Happy Birthday Ella! I was so glad to be invited to Ella’s ninth Birthday party at school.

Ella had nine candles. We all sang Happy Birthday. It was the same tune and I knew all the words. The cake was a delicious Chocolate Cake. I had to have a second piece!
After cake Ella played with the sensory toys. She loves feathers.

As the weather was so nice we went outside in the pretty garden to have water play. I loved sitting on Ella’s lap as she kept giving me hugs. I think she liked me being with her on her Birthday. I will go back for a visit when I go back to England. Ella’s teachers are very kind.

I went to London over 2008 Spring Break. I stayed in an apartment on Pembroke Road near Earl’s Court. It was snowing when we arrived so I was happy I could snuggle in Ryan’s backpack. We saw all the major sites… The London Bridge, Tower of London, Big Ben, Kensington Palace, and Hampton Court. We also visited the British Museum where we saw the terracotta army and the King Tut exhibit at the O2 Center. The highlight was flying home in Upper Class on Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Thanks to the Ryan and his family for taking me with them!

Eddy from England I would like some help please. My class are using all of my Teddy Bear friends around the world to help them with their geography this term. They are investigating the different climates in the places you all live and the activities that your children do to compare the leisure activities that are available depending on the climate and location. If any of you are able to help we would be most grateful. If my class can help you in any way for any of your studies you only have to ask and we will help all that we can. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you all so much

7^th Febuary 2008 Eddy’s day out in Cookworthy

On Thursday we went to Cookworthy with Eddy our travelling teddy. First we went to the roundhouse and talked. Years 2 and 3 knew some stuff about the Celtics; I was in charge of Eddy.

Then we split up in to groups years two and three stayed in the round house and made name necklaces. While years 4 and 5 found animals foot prints, then we had lunch. After lunch our roundhouse teacher made us sweet potato and parsnips.

Next years 2 and 3 had to find animal foot prints we found lots of animal foot prints.

This is when the fun started, there were lots of pictures of taken of me and Eddy. I think Eddy had such a good time as he was so tired when we got back to school and I had a good time.

Mrs Southam (year 2&3 Teacher) brought me to the prep school car park to meet the form captain Jamie to take me to Fenton. I found out that Fenton is in Stoke on Trent. By the way my name is Eddy the Edgehill bear. I got there by mini bus. I stopped for tea at the services in Bristol.

I had chips from KFC.
