A Bear Called Paddington - Chapter 2 - Character Analysis Mrs Bird

In the second chapter of "A Bear Called Paddington," students are invited to delve into a character analysis of Mrs Bird, one of the key figures in the story. The reading activity encourages children to explore the text closely and extract specific words and phrases that paint a picture of Mrs Bird's physical appearance. This exercise not only enhances their comprehension skills but also aids in visualising the character as they read.

Further enriching their understanding of Mrs Bird, the activity also focuses on the manner in which she speaks and behaves, as portrayed in the book. This aspect of the analysis helps students to grasp the nuances of her character, including her personality traits and the way she interacts with others. To culminate the activity, children are tasked with using the descriptions they've gathered from the text to draw their own interpretation of Mrs Bird, thereby bringing the literary character to life through their own creativity.
