    I predict that Mr Brown will say okay. But I also predict that Mr Brown will still be worried about his children. I predict they will call him Paddington as the book is called ‘A bear called PADDINGTON.’
    But I’m still predicting so don’t stop reading!
    I predict his children will love the Paddinton because he causes trouble and he turns boring stuff into fun stuff. I predict that Paddington will meet a old relative called Mrs Bird. I predict that Judy’s brother likes cool, fun and amazing stuff because when he grows up he wants to become an astronaut. I predict that Mr Brown is a bissnes man so he trys to work hard.

    Paddington will go into Mr and Mrs Brown’s house for a few days until they find someone else to give Paddington to.

Also I think they will keep him for a few days because they cant just leave Paddington on the streets and in the text Mrs Brown says they should keep Paddington.

    I predict that the Browns will adopt him. I think this because Mrs Brown seems so determined that Paddington should get a home. This is because in page 5 Mrs Brown says to her husband, “Oh, Henry, what shall we do? We can’t just leave him here. There’s no knowing what might happen to him. London’s such a big place when you’ve nowhere to go. Can’t he come and stay with us for a few days?”

    I will draw a picture in my homework book.
