By Jenny Mosley. This book contains well structured and purposeful circle session plans that incorporate not only the curriculum for personal, social and emotional development but which will also enable young children to understand universal moral values and practise problem solving skills. Circle Time also facilitates language development, confidence building and the five vital skills of looking, listening, speaking, thinking and concentrating. Because children find Circle Time very motivating the may make developmental strides that can be difficult to achieve in more formal settings.
Circle time is a very popular activity in today's schools and creates a safe, fun environment where children can think about their relationships, their behaviour, and be honest about their problems and feelings. In this book, the highly successful and popular author Mal Leicester offers a range of lively and engrossing stories, poems and songs for use in circle time activities and assemblies. They are specially written to develop the cognitive and emotional development of young children and aim to encourage active and responsible participation.
Taking Picture Books Seriously: What can we learn about philosophy through children's books?
This warm and charming volume casts a spell on adult readers as it unveils the surprisingly profound philosophical wisdom contained in children's picture books, from Dr Seuss's Sneetches to William Steig's Shrek!. With a light touch and good humor, Wartenberg discusses the philosophical ideas in these classic stories, and provides parents with a practical starting point for discussing philosophical issues with their children.
