This is Bessa.

She likes Hide and seek

Catching balls

Climbing trees

She does not like

Sitting still.

It was time to go to Kensington Gardens.

‘Oh dear!’ said her teacher.

‘It’s raining.

Let’s paint some pictures.’

Bessa did not want to paint.

She wanted to play.

Bessa looked at the other bears’ paintings.

They were good.

‘Bessa,’ said her teacher, ‘Paint a picture of Kensington Gardens.’

‘It’s sunny!’ said her teacher.

‘Let’s go to Kensington Gardens.’

‘You can finish your painting

when we get back,’

said Bessa’s teacher.
