Product Information

Every pirate needs a telescope to help them find the treasure. Can you make one using the list of things below; Relaxed Performances are provided for people who would benefit from a more relaxed environment, or are uncomfortable with sudden lighting changes or loud noises, including those with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, sensory or communication needs or a learning disability. Find out more here. With storybooks the illustrations are the key to animating the text for the listener. For language learners they are all the more important as they can guide a learner to a better understanding of the language they are listening to. Los cuentos se encuentran separados no solo por el texto sino también por los formatos en que se presentan, creando una delimitación visual entre uno y otro. A listening task could be to write down all the words they hear at the end of a sentence that rhyme. They could do this on their own with the first listening and then put any words they have written down onto the board. Compare and find any that rhyme. They can listen again and see if they find any other words which rhyme with their word bank they had previously compiled.

I love shiny things! And every jewel thief loves treasures, just like the thief in the book. Can you find some small pebbles and stones and turn them into treasure? How about using pens or paints? Or even wrapping them in tinfoil? They could learn about different types (genres) of books and complete an updated version of the earlier class chart and see if they all still prefer the same genre of book as before.

My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. I have just finished writing a novel for teenagers. Look at the way this story is structured. Could you make your own version about a person who reads a book about a character who finds a book about an animal who steals a book… ? My favourite part of filming the video was the ghost head part. I had to enlist the help of my son to film it. It was lots of fun and we laughed a lot getting it right.

Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with milk. Stir in vanilla.

You can spend a whole lesson just with the double spread of pictures of Charlie’s books on his bookshelf. Each book has a symbolic image that represents the genre e.g. a ghost for Out of this World, a collection of ghost stories. Or a pirate and ship for Shiver me Timbers or My First Encyclopedia with a series of objects labelled with the first letter. With this picture you could make a poster sized version for the whole class to see. You could Tippex out the titles leaving just the illustrations. The children could then predict what sort of books they are. Lo recomiendo muchísimo para trabajar con niños que se inician en la lectura ya que ofrece numerosas oportunidades de adentrarse en el mágico mundo de los cuentos. The book can be used throughout key stage one and two. At key stage one level it can be read to the class by the teacher during story time whilst the children enjoy the illustrations, and then read independently during key stage two once the children become more developed readers.I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him). One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading. Cada historia introduce un tipo de cuento diferente, viajamos desde los países más alejados de fantasía, pasando por fábulas, cuentos cómicos, de misterio o aventuras, presentando así a todos los tipos de personajes que podemos encontrar en ellos como animales que hablan, fantasmas, princesas, piratas, caballeros, dragones, etc. Esto consigue transmitir al iniciado lector en las diferentes emociones que se pueden experimentar ante los diversos géneros literarios existentes. Julia Donaldson y Axel Scheffler, creadores del aclamado "Grúfalo", se reúnen de nuevo para traer a las bibliotecas de los más pequeños un cuento diferente y divertido que hace homenaje a todas las historias infantiles clásicas. I’ve had a number of people say it made them laugh when my little alien flew past in my video. The alien is green and in his flying saucer in the book. But, if you were to make an alien what would it look like?

These performances are provided for those who use British Sign Language. The interpreter will be at the front of the stage and lit with a spotlight. They will provide a linguistic and artistic interpretation of the show for people who are D/deaf or for whom BSL is their preferred language. Make sure everyone is listening before you begin. You should allocate a part of the room for telling stories. If you don’t have the luxury of moving tables, chairs or even children then have at least the ritual of clearing desks and so creating a change in the pace of the lesson. If you don’t have their undivided attention to begin with it will be a hard slog to get their attention while reading and you will spoil the experience for those who are trying to listen when you stop to tell others to listen.Look on a map to find the location of libraries in your local area. Could you plan a trip to one to choose some new favourite books?
