PADDINGTON TAKES THE TEST

ACTIVITIES:

1. Write a postcard to an older person in your family who might enjoy hearing from you, as Paddington did to his Aunt Lucy. Cut a piece of cardboard for the postcard, draw a colorful picture on one side, turn the card over and write your message on the left side, and the address on the right side. Put a stamp on the card. Show it to our class and then mail it!

2. Ask some of your relatives about their experiences while getting a driver's license. Write a report in which you describe this. Use a clever title for the article.

3. Scan the book for a number of English expressions used, such as torch for flashlight. Do your best to find out what each one means. Make a list of them and their meanings. Do at least 10 please.

4. Write a menu of very unusual food Padington might have created, such as Boot Wellington. Include a short description of each dish.

5. Write a catchy slogan about a fruit to encourage someone to buy and eat it. Be more original than: "A currant a day keeps the doctor away." Put this on a poster with a picture of your fruit and make an ad for it.

6. Make a costume out of paper similar to the costume parade that Mr. Curry won.
