Mad About Minibeasts!

Product Information

Synopsis: Children love the noisy sound words and looking at the colourful pictures, as they discover all sorts of minibeasts. Extension activities based on patterns, shapes, humanities and sciences could be prompted from this video. A Cuddle For Claude was nominated for the Sheffield Book Award and Claude is now the subject of a popular animated TV series. We believe it's important that children learn how to respect and use real tools as they are more than capable given the opportunity (for further information on tool safety and storage at the nursery, please see our handbook: https://bit.

This clip is relevant for teaching Music and Sciences at at Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Scotland. On this page you will find a brief list of ideas for activities to do with the topic, organised into the appropriate areas of learning. This successful author/illustrator pairing won the picture book section of the Children's Book Award with The Lion Who Wanted To Love. There is also a sub-forum area where you can find and add to discussions on the topic of minibeasts. Additional activities included creating mud minibeasts (some were done on the front gate), using magnets with various items to see which ones were magnetic, topping up the bird-feeder, a woodchip tea party and a minibeast/bug hunt with magnifying glasses.On second listening, encourage the children to retell the story using the props to help with the story sequence. Following on from this, we read our book of the week and let the children choose a minibeast to make for themselves using the various hand tools at their disposal. She then invites the children to think about the minibeasts which don’t make a sound - worms, butterflies, spiders, slugs and snails - and to think about how they move. The site was created a few years back with the aim of becoming a high quality sparklebox alternative - helping teachers and parents to create exciting and inspiring learning environments for young children. Brightly coloured illustrations by David Wojtowycz add to the appeal of this engaging and lively book.

He has won the Federation of Children's Book Award and the Book Trust Early Years Award, but he is probably most famous as the creator of the phenomenally successful Purple Ronnie, Britain's favourite stickman. Rhyming text and vibrant full-page illustrations make this marvellous picture book perfect for reading aloud.Early Learning HQ is home to thousands of primary school / early years teaching resources, some of which are completely free to download. David began his illustration career by creating the Pigs Might Fly and Flux Deluxe greetings cards ranges and then illustrated the very popular and successful picture book series that began with Rumble In The Jungle, written by Giles Andreae.
