This report explores how ‘core capacities’– or cornerstones of more familiar concepts such as life skills and competences– develop over the early part of the life course, and how they contribute to children’s well-being and development. Play the video. The duration is 4' 22". Questions are posed during the video at the following times: This book is extra special, as it is written by Ben Faulks, otherwise known as CBeebies’ Mr Bloom. This fact alone caused a lot of conversation about who he is and why he has two names. What Makes Me a Me?” immediately pulls the reader in with its cute beanie-hatted be-spectacled character and the tactile title in glittery letters. This is basically a story about identity, in which the character compares himself to a range of animals, inanimate objects and even the naughty boy next door, concluding that, whilst there are some similarities, he is nothing like any of these and that “everybody’s different in their own special way”. In a diverse world it is good to recognise and celebrate uniqueness, and this book would make a good starting point for discussions with children about similarities and differences in race and culture. The theme of the story is ideal for the start of term with any infant-aged class. The question “What makes me a me?” is posed. Then many similarities to other children, objects and creatures are pointed out. But differences are also highlighted, helping the children to begin to see how we are all unique.

This answer shows your interviewer that you're not afraid to take risks. Of course, you'll only want to say this if you have a positive example to reinforce the importance of failure in the workplace. Working at a startup gave me an opportunity to understand the ins-and-outs of the industry, and to take on tasks I might not have at a larger company. I think this experience gives me a slight edge over other applicants." The conversation continued with Millie adding that she runs like a fast dinosaur, but isn’t so tall.Over our lives, we have changed and will continue to change as we grow older. Some of these changes are obvious one...growing taller...being able to talk...changing our favourite flavour of ice-cream... However, some of these changes are less obvious - what we believe in...what our hopes and dreams are...or what we value most in life. Think about who you will become as you grow and develop... Will you be the same you...or different..? What makes you, you? You don't want to sound like you make mistakes all the time, but you'll stand out if you mention how you turned a failure into a success. These capacities are often overlooked and yet they are foundational (the basis) for developing more complex social-emotional and academic competences.

that fell off the original Theseus and decided to rebuild it. It needed a lot of hard work - and an awful lot of nails. But it looks very good now he's finished. The minute she sees the ship, Dave's wife thinks it's Dave's ship - the Theseus. So what does this mean? They're both called the Theseus.And they both look the same...' When solving problems, I apply both logic and emotional aspects in equal proportion. For instance, I'm trained in SEO and understand how to use analytics to ensure a marketing campaign is successful, but I also majored in design and know how to apply creativity to a project as well." This PowerPoint will help children to talk about difference positively and respectfully, focusing on all the wonderful things that make each person special and unique. Use this great resource alongside the Twinkl Originals book ' We Are All Different' or as part of your 'All About Me' topic. Take a look at the full range of additional resources to support this book, such as these We Are All Different Discussion Cards.Some children have already chosen to return to the book during their independent time, to reread the story or retell it to others. Any book that causes this reaction at this point in the term should be in every single EYFS book box. And we keep growing into teenagers. Then adults. And we continue changing our whole lives. Our hair grows and falls out and more grows without us even noticing. We get a whole new set of teeth. Everything changes. So if every part of us gets replaced too, Like Dave's ship, then that raises a big question.' Children come equipped with capacities that support lifelong learning and development. These capacities need to be promoted and protected. Ben Faulks is an actor and writer from Cornwall, best known for his role as Mr Bloom in the CBeebies children's television show Mr Bloom's Nursery.

Preston said “I like scratching like a dinosaur”, encouraging Joe to be more specific and realise: “I can be like a T-Rex and stretch up tall.” And each time the ship gets damaged... More metal parts are added and so on and so on. Until, eventually, every part of the Theseus has been replaced. The ship is now entirely metal. Inside and out. When Dave gets home, his wife...' Their thinking then moved away from friends, to consider animals and objects - just as in the book, when the main character thinks about superheroes and trees. Stomping like a dinosaurLucy said “I am a bit like my friend”, which prompted Harry to add: “I am a bit like my friend because we are both kind.” Which ship is the Theseus? Now, this is all very well with ancient ships and what not but what happens if we think about something a little closer to home? Like, I don't know? You! You see, like Dave's ship, our bodies change and grow throughout our lives. We're born. 'We grow up into toddlers.' Help me to accept and embrace the differences within myself as I grow older and change both physically and spiritually. A growing body of evidence suggests that successful performance in school, work and life needs to be supported by a wide range of skills, the development of which should be nurtured and expanded throughout childhood.
