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.

This is a very unusual picture book with a story told through close up photography and mainly narrated bythe toy bus. I hope adults will enjoy it too, so they’ll want to read it with their children and work out together what on earth is going on – and who’s the naughty one – the bus or the boy? Computing/ICT - plan, direct and film your own 'Naughty Bus' (or Naughty *other form of transport*) story. An exciting feature is the way the typeface is used to tell the story, by blurring and bending it to suit what is happening.

We are currently changing the writing table into a car so thought I might use this book and just wondered if anyone had activities that worked well that I could adapt. Explore other forms of transport and maps and use personal experiences to help create a recount or directions for a toy bus. There is 3 activities for each but expected to take more than 1 day on certain activities due to the time of the year. I know some parents have been asking for a little structure and some are happy to pick and choose activities. A two week unit of work based on The Naughty Bus designed for Year 1 but adaptable for Reception and Year 2.

From KidsTV123 Read what theauthor, Jan Oke, said about The Naughty Bus: ‘The text I’ve used is in the form of speech only, to reflect how children play and the photographs are shot at child’s eye level to make the scenes easy to ‘read’. This will be based on the local area and will involve children captioning photos of the bus up to no good in other settings. Phonics - I have included all the sheets with sounds on right from the beginning of Reception to the end of Year 1. It has really captured his imagination- maybe because the pictures are real and something he can relate to.If you also type in 'Geraldine the Giraffe' or 'Mr Thorne does phonics' in YouTube there are some great phonics videos here.
