Cloud Tea Monkeys

Product Information

Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. Further ideas that would be incorporated using a cross curricular approach include the idea of using Science alongside Literacy. Perhaps for a more hands on approach to learning children may explore the process involved in making tea and then have the opportunity to taste and smell it. They could then produce a piece of writing which explores the use of instructional writing on how to make tea. One further subject that I had in mind was Art due to the brilliant illustrations used throughout the book. Children could use the illustrations to inspire their own artistic creativity, perhaps exploring the effective use of colour to create light and dark features to their own pieces of art. Why do bees buzz? How does thunder shake, rattle, and roll? Where does the best tasting tea come from?

This is a lovely book with excellent writing and beautiful illustrations. The descriptions are fantastic: "he looked like a man whose brain was on fire" was a favourite of mine! This would be a brilliant story to read aloud to children of 6-7 because although it is long for a read aloud book and uses challenging vocabulary, it is good for children to be exposed to advanced language and they will be captivated by the illustrations. The tale has the feel of a time-honed fable—simple, elegant, and moving—which is especially well complemented by Wijngaard’s sumptuous illustrations.” Although helpful for basic structure of planning, some days planning is missing due to the author's school trips (e.g. Wednesday - Flamingo Land trip, Wednesday – FOOD EXTRAVAGANZA). Therefore days are missing within the planning. Lccn 2009011868 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL23202365M Openlibrary_edition

They will then read the next part of the story and will look for other effective similes used by the author. Throughout, they will learn to explain why particular similes were chosen by the author and will be encouraged to suggest their own alternatives. They will then, through writing in role as Tashi, use similes of their own to describe this part of the story. At the end of the lesson, your Year 4 class will return to the description in the book of the Overseer and will identify the metahor used. They will then see if they can develop their own metaphors to describe this character. In these days of a post-modern approach to many illustrated books, it can be refreshing to see a return to a more traditional approach, with a rich use of patterned language and painstaking care taken with illustrations that both support and extend the written text. Such a style is that which we enjoy in Cloud Tea Monkeys.” Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments understand what they read, in books they can read independently, by: identifying how language, structure, and presentation contribute to meaning Teacher of Primary Trading As Online Teaching Resources Limited.
