Adventures with Paddington

Adventures with Paddington

(0)
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?

Black Star: The Power of Persuasive Speech

Being able to speak and write persuasively is an important cross-curricular skill.

It has clear links to the English curriculum for 11-16-year old students and the new GCSE English Language, where the effects of language can be considered, as well as the importance of delivery, gesture and tone. This resource also has cross-curricular relevance to drama, history and PSHE. Black Star is the British Film Institute’s autumn 2016 celebration of the range, versatility and power of black actors on film and TV taking place nationwide and we’re delighted to be complementing their season with a programme of relevant films that resonate with our audience of 5-19 year olds. Embracing the BFI’s direction of illuminating on-screen talent, the films selected for use in this resource feature contemporary British stars of black heritage as well as actors from the African diaspora and throughout film history that demonstrate a real range and depth of storytelling.
