Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Heartwarming Story of Companionship and Sacrifice This is the story of two dogs and a young lad. Rugby is the family Labrador, best companion of a young boy who lives in the country. Rosie is introduced to them as a young pup, irrepressibly happy to play all the day with her two new companions. Rugby is a hard sell, ignoring the pup who barks at him, climbs over him, and won't leave him alone, until one day when, inexplicably, he has a change of heart, and the three launch into the blissful days of summer. Yet the boy knows that their camaraderie is not to last, for come autumn Rosie is destined to train as guide dog for the blind. Rugby & Rosie is the winsome story of two dogs and a young lad and a way of giving that makes a difference. This landmark work is beautifully illustrated in color; winner of the Golden Sower Award.

Download or read book Children s Interests Inquiries and Identities written by Helen Hedges and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children’s curiosity about their lives and worlds motivates many interests. Yet, adults often have fixed ideas about what children’s interests are and have been criticised for trivialising children’s interests. This book offers a critical and accessible engagement with research on children’s interests that challenges us to move beyond surface-level understandings. Children’s Interests, Inquiries and Identities argues that the powerful relationship between interests and informal learning has been under-recognised and undervalued. The book proposes new principles for understanding children’s learning. It provides evidence that we need to look beyond the activities or topics children may currently be selecting to find out who and what has stimulated their interests, how we might identify and interpret interests more analytically and deeply, and how we might respond and engage with these in ways that take children’s interests seriously. Moving beyond play-based activities, Helen Hedges explains and illustrates a number of ways by which children’s interests can be interpreted and understood, to get to the heart of what really matters to, and for, children. The book draws on examples from research with children aged under 5 years, and young adults aged 18-25. It also includes a chapter on teachers’ interests. It presents new and original models for interests-based curriculum and sociocultural curriculum and pedagogy for future examination in research and practice. This book demonstrates that leaving behind long-standing, taken-for-granted practices that have influenced understandings of curriculum, pedagogy, learning, and outcomes allows a new perspective of children’s interests to emerge. It will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate students, and practitioners in the early years, parents, and other professionals who work with young children.

Download or read book The Role of Place and Play in Young Children s Language and Literacy written by Shelley Stagg Peterson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dominant assumptions about place tend to be defined in relation to urban communities. To assume a singular construction of urban places misrepresents the experiences, perspectives, and identities of urban children, making their identities become invisible to researchers, educators, and curriculum developers. Sharing a wide range of perspectives, Role of Place and Play in Young Children’s Language and Literacy sheds light on language and literacy learning in play-based early childhood settings where place plays an important role in teaching and learning. Drawing on geographic contexts, including northern rural and Indigenous communities, and giving voice to educational leaders in Indigenous professional learning contexts, as well as speech-language pathologists, this book joins forces with literacy and early childhood education researchers to create an interdisciplinary collage of theory, research, and practice. Bringing play and place together, a concept Shelley Stagg Peterson and Nicola Friedrich call playce-based learning, this book provides new and compelling ways to think about equity and educational opportunity in the language and literacy development of young children, and offers spaces for them to construct their own identities in positive ways.

Holly-Mei Jones couldn’t be more excited about moving to Hong Kong for her mother’s job. Her new school is right on the beach and her family’s apartment is beyond beautiful. Everything is going to be perfect . . . right? Maybe not. It feels like everywhere she turns, there are new rules to follow and expectations to meet. On top of that, the most popular girl in her grade is quickly becoming a frenemy. And without the guidance of her loving Ah-ma, who stayed behind in Toronto, Holly-Mei just can’t seem to get it right. It will take all of Holly-Mei’s determination and sparkle (and maybe even a tiny bit of stubbornness) to get through seventh grade and turn her life in Hong Kong into the ultimate adventure!

Download or read book Swan Lake 2 written by David Yarwood and published by David Yarwood. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows the story of Swan Lake, right? Evil curse. Handsome prince. Start to finish in twenty-four hours. Everyone lives happily ever after? Not for the Black Swan’s descendants, cursed unfairly. The ballet storytellers skip this part from their fairy-tale, but Swan Lake 2, the sequel, reveals all! These swans have one chance a month to locate a cure before they die on their twelfth birthday. It’s hardly surprising that eleven-year-old twins Penny and Cobain Atratus surrender the best roles in their ballet school’s summer performance of Swan Lake. They hate Odette, the Swan Princess, and expect to be dead before curtains up, unless their new friends can help. Rosie Maudly has her own problems. Half-and-half, she’s blessed with her mum’s dancing genes and cursed with her dad’s stage fright. The genes are double-edged too, edging her WEBS scholarship but threatening her dreams. Moon has different dilemmas, hardly anyone will understand, and telling you now will spoil the story, but … I trust you with a secret. Rio Grande would rather be at another school. Don’t get me wrong. He loves ballet and is the best in his year, and has already performed in a West End Christmas production of Coppélia. The trouble is he loves sport even more and keeping him at WEBS full-time is going to be, well, a full-time task. Last and dare you say least? Kirsty Qickers. Where to start with her? How about the first page which is included in the free sample? Can you imagine someone like Kirsty ever helping anyone, let alone the twins?
