Get your class ready for adventure with this exciting resource based on the upcoming release of Paddington in Peru. Just as Paddington prepares to visit Aunt Lucy, your learners will prepare for their own adventure solving clues and completing challenges that would benefit any explorer. This resource focuses on core curriculum areas including English and maths as well as geography and science. Learners will receive a mysterious letter which they will need to decipher before they find out the reason for their adventure. They will then watch the trailer and think about what it means for Paddington to travel home. Pupils will investigate The Brown Family and reflect upon their own skills and talents, considering why they would be an excellent travelling companion. To develop their understanding of Peru, your class will note features of the rainforest landscape, leading to an activity discovering habitats and wildlife. In a maths-based bag packing challenge, learners will note that they need more than just a passport and marmalade sandwiches to have a successful trip and will choose from a range of items to take with them, making sure they don’t exceed their baggage allowance! The home learning task will encourage pupils to share their new knowledge about Peru with their families by considering why they would want to go there. They will also think about who they would take with them on a trip, considering what it means to travel away from home and why family and friends are important companions. The optional competition will encourage the idea that adventures can happen anywhere. Competition entrants will plan a day out with Paddington – where would they take him and what would they show him?
