Naughty Bus

Product Information

I had a lovely mental picture of "The Naughty Bus" driving round the country collecting children from Naughty Steps and Naughty Chairs, etc all over the land. Five daily classroom activities including writing and discussion - based on each chapter of The Badly Behaved Bus.

A two week unit of work based on The Naughty Bus designed for Year 1 but adaptable for Reception and Year 2.Initially, the children will share information about buses and try and to find out what they already know about buses to create a shared simple piece of information writing. With so many great opportunities and uses, we hope that you’re on board with this wonderful bus-themed resource! This pack contains: •A five-part story of The Badly Behaved Bus, the mischief he gets up to, and how the bus drivers try to put a stop to it.

Here, even the typography plays tricks, mirroring the bus’s actions and finally sinking into the page as the errant toy speeds past a queue of disgruntled plastic passengers, ploughs through its owner’s dinner and plunges into the garden pond. You might like to create a new version to the same tune together instead changing the words to The Naughty Bus….Age 3-5 Ayoung boy receives a toy bus as a presentand hasgreat fun exploring the world with his new toy which turns out to be quite a naughty bus – or is it the boy being naughty? As the Naughty Bus is a typical London double-decker bus, links could also be made to getting to know London or any local area.

The text has links to toys, transport, the history of toys and provides opportunities for discussions around behavioural expectations. Encourage the children to vary the pitch and tone of their voice as they rehearse to emphasise the rhyming words, e.The text mimics a child’s descriptive dialogue as he plays, switching between the words of the bus and the child himself. This is a very unusual picture book with a story told through close up photography and mainly narrated bythe toy bus. Ask your child to tell you about each photo and scribe their words as captions to gowith the pictures.
