that Pandy is sleepy. Say: Look! Poor Pandy! He’s sleepy! Explain to the children that they are going to help Pandy find his bed. Distribute the Class Books and show the children page 17. Look at the page and ask the children to point to Pandy and to his bed. Point to the playhouse and have the children identify the window. Distribute the crayons, and allow time for the children to connect Pandy to his bed. As the children are working, walk around the room checking progress and helping children who are struggling.
• When the children have finished tracing the route
through the maze, focus their attention on Pandy and say: He’s sleepy, and encourage the children to repeat the word sleepy. Then turn their attention to the bed, and elicit the word bed. Say: I’m sleepy, and pretend to be sleepy, then say: bed, and mime getting into bed. Tell the children to do the same. Say: sleepy, and get the children to pretend they’re feeling sleepy, then say: bed, and get the children to mime getting into bed. Start slowly and gradually get faster and faster.
Extension Make a Time for bed, sleepy head! poster. Show the children different magazine cut outs of people (adults, teenagers, children and babies) feeling sleepy, and different types of beds. Divide the children up into four or five groups depending on the size of the class, and give each group a large colourful sheet of poster paper and eight magazine cut outs: four of sleepy people and four of different beds. Explain to the children that they have to help the sleepy people in the pictures find their way to their beds, just as they helped Pandy find his way to his bed in the playhouse. Give out some tubes of glue to each group, and tell the children to stick the pictures of the sleepy people in the middle of the poster paper, and the beds in the four corners. Then with the crayons, tell the children to join each person to a different bed. When all the posters are finished, stick them on the wall in a corner of the classroom for the whole class to see.
