Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! Urgent help needed please - INTERVIEW!!!!!! I need ideas for a Story book to read to hold attention of small group of children (aged 3 - 4 yrs) mixed ability plus child with additional needs - SEN - Theme - People who help us if possible. Mind blank................argh!!!!!
Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 When you say people who help us do you mean occupation wise? Because I was thinking of the smartest giant. He helps everyone and is terribly kind...........
Cait Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 and he's the smartest giant in town! There are some books about children visiting hospitals, dentists etc that may be ok for you
Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 How about 'we're going on a bear hunt'- it doesn't link in with people who help us, but is always a winner, and you can always get the children involved too.
chicken Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 There are some peppa pigs stories available, going to the dentist etc. Our children love them or is it peppa they love Chicken
Panders Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Our children were a bit into opposites last week and so we were looking for stories covering that sort of subject, anyway, we read one called Not Like that Like This, not a terrifically long book, but it is about a dad who gets his head stuck in the railings at the park, and groups of people come along and try to get him out in various ways, generally a version of pushing or pulling motions, in the end the Fire fighters turn up and use their gadget to force the bars apart. The children did like the book and because there was counting going on - different amounts of people turning up in the groups they engaged in that. Don't have the book here because one little chap wanted to take it home, but seem to remember it's by Tony Bradman Not strictly people who help us, but what about Monkey Puzzle where the butterfly tries to help little monkey find its mother, our children do like to join in with that one.

Inge Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 not like that like this always loved this one, lots of interaction with finishing the lines and counting.
Guest Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 My favourite is Ness the Nurse by Nick Sharratt. A simple rhyming story about a nurse who has ten plasters for children who hurt themselves. A maths element and lovely illustrations too.
Guest Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Jasper's beanstalk's a good one for getting the children to do actions to. And I've used it successfully in an interview lesson before
