Hi Primary 3,

This week my story for you is ‘Paddington Bear’.

And below are the follow on activities you can do. Try to do at least two over the week. This week your handwriting task links to the book, so make sure you complete that task as well.

Paddington Bear Reading Comprehension

1. Where does Mrs Brown say Peru is?
2. Why do they call the bear Paddington?
3. Where do the Brown’s live?
4. How does Lucy describe Mrs Bird?
5. What was the first thing Paddington did in the bathroom?
6. Would you like a bear to come and live with you? And why?

Appologies, I made a mistake on the comprehension located on the school website. Question 4 should be ‘How does Lucy describe Mrs Bird?’.  (Not Mrs Brown)

Wonderful Writer  Find out some facts about Peru and create an information poster all about the country.

Book Review Print out the book review and complete (or create your own version)

Word Wizard Find out the dictionary definition of the following words and write them in your own sentence: stowaway, Left Luggage, marmalade, bitterly, earnestly

Artistic Ace Draw a picture to represent part of the story and write at least 2 sentences to describe your drawing.

Question Master Design your own Paddington Bear quiz or a quiz about Peru.

Handwriting Find out Copy out the following passage in your neatest handwriting or you can practice your typing skills. Then add an illustration.

Mr and Mrs Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear, because Paddington was the name of the station. The Browns were waiting to meet their daughter, Judy, when Mr Brown noticed something small and furry near the LEFT LUGGAGE office. “It looks like a bear,” he said.

Here are some files which will help you complete your tasks:

Good morning everyone! I hope you have all been enjoying the learning activities this week.

I tried some origami yesterday, inspired by someone in our class who made a seahorse! I tried to make a jumping frog, I managed to make the frog but unfortunately he doesn’t jump! I will need to try again. Here is a picture of my frog and the video I used in case you want to try. There are lots of videos on YouTube you could choose something different to make. Send me your photos 😀

Money is a focus this week is maths, here are some money games to help you practise recognising and adding coins. Have a go if you want!

Good morning  Primary 3! Are you good at tidying? I have been tidying up all my  kitchen cupboards and sorting out my wardrobe while I’m at home.

Now I would  like to sort out the instruments in the Music Room! Maybe you could help me get started? I want to sort them by how they are played, some are blown, some are hit, some are plucked and some are shaken! See if you can sort the instruments in the picture . Then maybe you can add some of your own?

Hi, after lots of positive feedback from last weeks hunt, I loved the photos of you with them, I’ve made a new spelling hunt for the day.  There are 18 words to find ‘ow’ words and ‘wa’ words, all written with chalk. Use the map below to help, or print out the attached sheet. Each black cross indicates where a word was written. It’s due to rain this evening which will probably wash the words away.

Yesterday I caught up with a couple of the programmes from World Ocean Day. I loved the short video about hammerhead sharks, the photography was stunning and I learnt lots. And I made a shark out of a toilet roll. Meet Pete the Hammerhead Shark:

Here is the video and the instructions:
