Product Information

I think the way this story is written using lots of repetition and constantly relating to the seasons and nature changing shows the reader that the little boy is growing as everything is changing however, you feel a sense of sympathy in case he isn’t! Are you taller now than you were last year? Do you think you’ll be taller next year? How can we find out how much taller you’ll be next year? urn:lcp:growingstory0000krau:epub:3d4b38b5-6074-4109-9a2d-dc82af666026 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier growingstory0000krau Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3vv0tt15 Invoice 1652 Isbn 0060247169 ISBN 0-689-81528-X.

The Growing Story by Ruth Krauss, Helen Oxenbury - Waterstones

I also liked that it was realised from what seemed like both the eye level and the psychological perspective of the child: thus no humans other than Mother appear in the story.This is a lovely book about a young boy who watches everything around him grow, but feels that he himself isn't growing. Until one day when he tries to put on some clothes that he had worn the year before, and couldn't really fit into! He is then very excited that he has grown! The topic may be confined to human growth, with links to healthy eating and healthy practices, but can also easily extend to animal, insect, plant and underwater or undersea growth. An interesting extension I have used in the past is to look at cave growth – stalagmites, stalactites and the unique plants and fungi found in this environment. It can help to show the infinite variety of life (and life requirements) on the planet – although these aspects might be a bit much for some children. You will need to pitch your coverage to the children with whom you are currently working. Sometimes children need to wait for proof that they have grown. This is especially hard to notice when rest of the world is growing so fast before their eyes.

The baby waits at the window with Mom, not ``doing anything... nothing Continue reading » Growing’ is always a useful topic for children in the Foundation Stage because it can be firmly rooted in the children and their various experiences. Some of these experiences (such as losing teeth - although not common at this age, I have known it to happen, and they may have older siblings) might trouble them, so this topic can provide reassurance. It can also facilitate a development of understanding that change occurs through life and in the wider world, to whatever degree is appropriate for the children in your charge.
