Paddington- character inference

This is a tried and tested lesson using the theme of Paddington. With the release of Paddington in Peru this is sure to go down well with the children in your class.

This is an adaptable Power Point based on inferring the feelings of Paddington when he arrives in London. The main task is geared towards a story or diary entry, but could be adapted to be a letter, newspaper article or poem. The content as it is can easily be adapted for any age between years two, three and four by altering the grammatical expectations required (e.g. adjectives, adverbs and alliteration). There is a blank story starter, as well as a colour coded version linked to the grammatical expectations. Again, these can be easily altered to suit your curriculum needs.

There is a link to the original Paddington video on YouTube as well as images to engage wider thinking.

Images of Paddington Bear are either drawn or photographed by myself.

All links included were correct at time of creation; I can’t take responsibility for the content of these so please check them carefully before using in a classroom.
