Rabbit Problem and Peter Rabbit - Teaching Slides

The teaching slides provided by Focus Education UK Ltd. guide students through an engaging and interactive exploration of problems faced by rabbits across different months, using two books as reference. In January, students are prompted to consider the issue of Lonely Rabbit's solitude and how it is resolved. Through a series of questions and activities, children are encouraged to think critically about the narrative, such as identifying the problems in February and understanding how words and images on a calendar contribute to the storytelling. The slides also ask students to reflect on character names and their personal preferences, as well as to suggest alternative names for baby rabbits.

As the year progresses, the slides address a variety of challenges, such as the 'Soggy Rabbit Problem' in April and the rabbits' hunger in February, prompting discussions on favourite foods and the significance of ordering seeds. Students are also asked to consider the impact of crows on the rabbits and brainstorm solutions to deter them, including designing a scarecrow. The teaching resource continues to engage students with the characters' experiences, such as boredom in June and dealing with heat in August. The slides culminate in creative writing and science-based activities that encourage students to express their preferences, sequence events, and explore plant anatomy, all while reinforcing literacy and scientific observation skills.
