Lancashire Sinfonietta Bear Hunting early years children and their parents
Last summer children from Stoneyholme Nursery School and Whitegate Children’s Centre explored Michael Rosen’s picture book, “We’re All Going on a Bear Hunt” alongside musicians from Lancashire Sinfonietta Chamber Orchestra, and artist Vanessa Card (Hand Held Theatre Company).
Artist Vanessa Card visited the children in their early years settings. Using puppets and materials to stimulate the senses, Vanessa and the children re-enacted the Bear Hunt adventure.
Later that week, the children brought their parents along to Towneley Hall Museum and Art Gallery in Burnley to meet Vanessa. Here they all retold the story with the magical accompaniment of musicians from the Lancashire Sinfonietta orchestra.
