"In recent times, in nursery and primary schools, the introduction of organizing by environments or spaces of free choice has been widely extended, usually distributed in thematic areas of knowledge. This book aims to respond to the need to construct powerful science spaces from the point of view of learning while also maintaining the appeal and fascination that children feel for the phenomena of the natural world
En els darrers temps, a les escoles d'infantil i primària, s'ha estès àmpliament la introducció de l'organització per ambients o espais de lliure elecció, habitualment distribuïts en àmbits temàtics de coneixement. Aquest llibre vol donar resposta a la necessitat de construir espais de ciència potents des del punt de vista de l’aprenentatge i que alhora mantinguin l’atractiu i la fascinació que els infants senten pels fenòmens del món natural.

A retelling of some classic Greek myths for younger readers.
Following on from the success of Little One and Son, from the same creative team comes Brothers & Sisters. This lyrical, stunning picture book is a warm-hearted tribute to siblings and their magical bond, with stunning art by award-winning illustrator Sonja Wimmer. It’s true that sometimes we fight when we want to play with the same toys. But when night falls, we snuggle up together and fall asleep while we read fairy tales to each other. We’re similar in so many ways! And we’re different in others. But one thing is for sure, and that is that we’ll always be there to help each other out. It doesn’t matter if stormy nights or evening shadows come to visit us. As long as we are together, we will get through them. We’ve learned so many things together, and discovered that the day and the night, even though they seem so different, form a part of the same melody. Brothers & Sisters is an inclusive picture book, both for boys and girls, for brothers by blood and for brothers of life. Both sisters and brothers appear in this magic tale that will delight the little ones in the house.
On architectural ornament and its contradictions This edition of the Catalan architecture magazine Quaderns considers architectural ornament at three scales: the architectural detail, the architectural structure and the urban.
This book highlights the multiple ways that digital technologies are being used in everyday contexts at home and school, in communities, and across diverse activities, from play to web searching, to talking to family members who are far away. The book helps readers understand the diverse practices employed as children make connections with digital technologies in their everyday experiences. In addition, the book employs a framework that helps readers easily access major themes at a glance, and also showcases the diversity of ideas and theorisations that underpin the respective chapters. In this way, each chapter stands alone in making a specific contribution and, at the same time, makes explicit its connections to the broader themes of digital technologies in children’s everyday lives. The concept of digital childhood presented here goes beyond a sociological reading of the everyday lives of children and their families, and reflects the various contexts in which children engage, such as preschools and childcare centres.
By examining how young children develop and learn from conception through to the age of eight, this book explores ways to enhance professional practice in the early years.
