Portesham Primary - “The Adventures of Bear Man and Timmy”

Wolves circling, trapped inside a damp cave, a haunted house on the horizon, and with only a cute little chick to protect him. It wasn’t looking good for Bear Man when the Year 3s and 4s at Portesham started their story. Thankfully, this team of young writers were able to use their collective imagination and creative skills to write this story to a happy, and truly bizarre conclusion. Turns out, Little Timmy is made of sterner stuff than you might think!

We had a wonderful time working at Portesham Primary and we can’t wait to go back. The young people were amazing and a huge thanks also goes out to Mrs Brignell and all the staff at the school for making us feel so welcome.

We were aided in our tale-telling by our brilliant volunteers, Amber and Rachel, who gave up their time and expertise to support these pupils and help craft this exciting story of nature survival against the odds, and a chick with serious combat chops!

Illustrated by the amazing Matisse Howells, The Adventures of Bear Man and Timmy is a delight to read and the class should be extremely proud of the story they produced in just one morning!
