AUTHOR: Tinay Ashby
PUBLISHED BY: Tina Ashby
These books are intended to help children build and secure
scientific knowledge and concepts at base level through fun creative stories
and are aimed at Key Stage 1; children aged 5-7 years. Each book has been
written by an experienced science teacher and takes a core requirement as set
out in the National Curriculum in England for primary science and builds a
creative story around it.
The author uses characters that make up Miss T’s class; those
being Miss T the cat, Miss Holly and Chase the dogs, Sage the pig, Daisy and
Stomper the chickens and Immy a girl, to help children understand the world of
nature and animals in a fun way.
The books are intended to be read to children by parents and
educators. Each story utilises familiar classroom
routines, repetition and familiar characters. Learning is encouraged by the use
of questions and answers in each story.
All books are attractively illustrated by the author with eye-catching
colours and lively characters. The books
are a compact size making them manageable for any child with small hands to
hold. Plus, they have easy to slide
pages which make it easier for small hands eagerly wanting to turn over to the
next part of the story to handle. Additionally, the books may also be wiped
clean if necessary; a bonus practicality.
Free
worksheets may be downloaded for each title.
