Hello Explorers, 

On our writing page we have shared the Naughty Bus story with you. 

Have you been on a bus?

Here are some ideas to help you act out the story and role-play new adventures.

  • Create a naughty bus out of a cardboard box to act out the story.
  • You could make a story box for the story. It could include some small world toys and scenery which could be made from re-cycled items.  

Where will your bus go?
