How many different habitats? Our solar system is one of millions, billions, trillions. Can you write these numbers using digits?

As you'd expect from Oliver Jeffers, the illustrations are detailed, original and inventive, showcasing the beautiful diversity of Earth, but also curating a mood of safety, curiosity and wonder. The book tells us that ‘there is enough for everyone’. Is everything shared equally between people on the planet? Why? Earth is the place where we live: it's full of wonderful creatures, depths and heights. Then there are people, who have bodies, which are pretty amazing things. People act, look and sound different. There are lots of different animals, too, and there's still so much to do. The most important thing is to be kind, and know that there's enough for everyone: on Earth, you can never be alone.Review to come, but in short this is a gorgeous book about our planet and the people who live here, written as an introduction for the youngest members of the human race. The book includes a huge collection of vocabulary to describe Earth. Can you make a dictionary based on these words? Over the course of three days more than seventy-five girls and boys looked and listened. There were collective gasps and sighs. There were nods of understanding. There was even applause at the conclusion. This is a useful resource that encourages your KS1 class to use the word mat to complete the sentences in a cloze style activity.

Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth : Jeffers

Me gustaría comenzar esta reseña con una frase de Carl Sagan en referencia a la imagen captada por la sonda espacial Vogayer 1 en 1990. En ella, en ese pálido punto azul, estamos nosotros. Esa es la Tierra. From land and sky, to people and time, these notes can be your guide and start you on your journey. And you'll figure lots of things out for yourself. Just remember to leave notes for everyone else... We have also included an activity that your class must add in the names of the planets in the solar system. Closed captions (CC) refer to subtitles in the available language with the addition of relevant non-dialogue information. Your Year 2 class will read the passage and identify nouns verbs and adjectives. You can also take one focus i.e. nouns if you feel it would better suit your Ks1 class.Me invitó a la reflexión y creo yo que por ello deberían leerlo. Lo recomiendo bastante, sí que sí. and this was the seventh, by the always unique and usually quirky Oliver Jeffers. Now it could be that I was hoping this book was actually a book about environmental activism for kids (which wouldn't be fair to judge him for, failing to meet MY expectations for a book about Earth!), but I couldn't figure out its purpose. As a school librarian, I think this is a great one to share with younger classes in a storytime setting, but I see it being enjoyed most fully in a one-on-one lap or bedtime snuggle session. The illustrations are so detailed that children will be able to pore over them independently for ages.
