A Bear Called Paddington - Chapter 2 - Worksheet

In the second chapter of "A Bear Called Paddington," students are encouraged to delve deeper into the narrative through a variety of discussion questions and reading activities. They are prompted to consider Mrs Bird's initial thoughts on Paddington and debate whether the Browns should keep the bear as part of their family. The chapter also explores the humorous mishaps Paddington encounters in the bathroom, providing a rich topic for classroom discussion and analysis.

The worksheet offers a range of creative and analytical tasks. Students can extend a timeline with key events, analyse Mrs Bird's character, and capture the bathroom scene through drama and comic strip creation, enhancing their understanding of sequence and character emotions. Grammar and punctuation exercises, such as the Grammar Hunt, focus on direct speech, apostrophes, adverbs, and conjunctions. Additionally, a 'Words to Workshop' section lists vocabulary for students to explore, aiding in the development of their language skills. Writing opportunities include composing a diary entry from Mrs Bird's perspective, a letter to Aunt Lucy, instructions for taking a bath, and starting to plan their own Paddington story. Cross-curricular links are made with subjects such as Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education, and Personal, Social, Health and Economic education, allowing for a holistic educational experience centred around the beloved bear, Paddington.
