Placing the Child at the Centre of Early Years Practice
How are you planning from children's interests? How do you use your observations to truly respond to the needs of the children in your care? Observation, planning and assessment are fundamental to good practice in early years settings. This book examines how practitioners can develop the skills necessary for observing children, how they can use these observations as a tool for planning and how assessment should be used not only to test what children know, but as a means of improving practice. Taking a child-centred approach, Helen Bromley looks at the underpinning principles of observation, planning and assessment and provides practical guidance to enable practitioners to be creative and off...
Use of Language Across the Primary Curriculum
This book offers practical advice and guidance on how children can be helped to use language to transform knowledge and experience into understanding across the curriculum, and thus become active learners. In addition to the core subjects, opportunities in music, P.E., I.T. and design technology are examined in the context of the interrelationship between children, language and learning, i.e.: * children learning to use language * children using language to learn * children learning about language Chapters describe classroom practice as well as offering reflective sections on the interrelationships and processes of language and cognitive development. An integral part of this is the acknowledgement of differing learning styles, special educational needs, and issues of linguistic diversity and cultural difference.
William and Lucy
The marriage of William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) and Lucy Madox Brown (1843-1894) united two of the most resonant Pre-Raphaelite family names.

Lucy, the intense, intellectual daughter of Ford Madox Brown, was an ambitious artist and biographer of Mary Shelley in spite of struggling with tube...
