This week in school, we have been exploring a new story – Paddington Bear! We started by reading the story and learning all about how the Brown family found Paddington at the train station and took him home to look after him. We thought this was really kind of them! After we had read the story, we talked about the different ways that the Brown family had shown they were kind. They took Paddington to the cafe for some food, they let him have a bath after he got all sticky – although this was a bit of a disaster with shaving foam and bubbles all over the bathroom! Finally, they gave him a nice cup of tea and some marmalade on toast in a comfy armchair. Miss Welburn set us up lots of different experiences so that we could feel like Paddington did in our expedition lessons!
We thought the shaving foam was soft and fluffy, and we know why Paddington got it all over the bathroom – because it was so fun to play with and splat!
The warm water and bubbles in our baths helped us to feel warm, cosy and clean – just like Paddington!
Finally, we got to make marmalade on toast which we thought was delicious! We loved filling up our tummies, and we all agreed that the Brown family were very kind to Paddington.
