Yvonne Wheeler Laurenty from Bethlehem, PaI remember what delight this song brought each Saturday morning as it opened a children's radio which was one of several consecutively broadcast on radio. The words and tune are entirely memorable even after all my 85 years. Loved to have heard a Jerry Garcia version .

The course also includes a two day Forest School first aid course.As something dark and deadly stalks the forest, Helen and her team must race against time to catch the perpetrator, before more blood is shed. On the line "Picnic time for teddy bears..." the song modulates a up a fourth, which is essential for the melody to make sense. Bing Crosby recorded a version where it modulated up a 5th, and Jerry Garcia modulated up a major 3rd, and many children's records seem to leave it in the same key signature the song started in, not modulating anywhere!

No matter how small or insignificant you think your information might be, it could be hugely significant for our investigation.’ Nostalgic from Scranton,paI associate this song with a sweet childhood memory of a local radio show called “Big John and Sparky.” The last thing Tom Campbell remembers is camping in the New Forest with his girlfriend, Melissa. Helpless, alone and consumed by fear, he is hunted through the woods by a sinister, masked figure... Bruce Alan Wilson from Charleston, Wv UsaIs it just me, or is this really a rather creepy little song? Why is one advised to go 'in disguise', and 'not alone' into the woods--and that it is better not to go? Why must one spy on the teddy bears? If they catch you--alone, undisguised, spying on you--what will happen 'down under the trees where nobody sees"? Probably something highly unpleasant. Walia from NjMy father in law JGA sang this sweet song to my two baby boys. I cry hearing because I don't think he ever sang it to him with that love. I can only pray him know the deep love we feel for him as now I can only hope the song flood his mind to a memory.

Andrew Dougal from BelfastIs the music from the teddy bears picnic not very reminiscent of the second movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9? Has this connection not been identified before Sympathique from Los AngelesOf course it's creepy. It's like one of those precautionary scary stories parents tell their kids to discourage bad behavior. In this case it's "don't wander into the woods alone." But instead of being concerned about bears eating them, it's probably more of a concern to not have the children get lost or encounter strangers. Boo from Lancashire, England.Interestingly there are many recordings which got the chord sequence quite wrong, and they seem to be copied by more people than the correct sequence. Sarah Hulsart from 84116My mom used to sing this to me when I was a little girl. Randomly this morning I saw my boyfriends 8y/o daughters teddygrams in a bowl on the floor and started singing "today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic" By completing the course, you will gain the skills, practical knowledge and confidence it takes to deliver Forest School and you will be supported and mentored throughout the training process and portfolio.

L Honey from British ColumbiaI didn’t find this song scary. I loved it as a kid and my dad would sometime, really rarely, sing it to me. I was not fond of adults so found it lovely that teddy bears had an escape. I never had a teddy bear of my own though. DI Helen Grace is a genuinely fresh heroine . . .
