Rosie's Hat

Product Information

One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading. Balkovich, Robert (30 June 2020). "Why Rose The Hat From Doctor Sleep Looks So Familiar". Looper .

Mia Thermopolis doesn't want to be a princess. And neither does Rosie. In fact, Rosie grows up to become a firefighter. In other words, a fireman - a job generally seen as, well, for men. Basically as far as you could get from a princess in frilly dress and high heels. I love this. I love love love seeing a children's book in which a girl doesn't conform to a massive heap of stereotypes about what she should be. Davids, Brian (8 November 2019).

Write a review of the story. What do you like about it? Are there any parts that you don’t like? Watch this video for some ideas: Why? Because it is simultaneously really sweet and an antidote to the mountain of girls' books* which seem to have been written by authors under the impression that girls only like pink and glitter and all want to grow up to be princesses. This is not true. Rosie's Hat is a story of the adventures of a hat after it gets blown away from Rosie and ends up in some unusual situations. Tallerico, Brian (8 November 2019).

Schools would need to become part of the Ogden Trust School Partnerships programme.Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta. Depending on whether you have any adult support, at some stage you may want to join the younger children for a period (so that you can ‘play, observe & ask’) and ask your teaching assistant to supervise the older children’s activity. I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him). I think the problem with Julia Donaldson books is that there is an expectation they'll all be like her most popular rhyming stories and this one isn't. I didn't enjoy it and the children didn't think much of it either. The story seems boring compared to others from this author and although the way the book has a sentence followed by some sound words like woof, whoosh etc. is a nice way to show the journey of the hat, the story didn't keep our attention much at all. There are many ways for children in early years to record their learning. To begin with, look at opportunities where pupils can orally question, clarify, retell or recount their science learning using podcast audio apps or recording audio or video on tablets. These can be saved using QR codes to go on displays in the investigation area so the children can watch and learn from each other, or to share learning across the setting.

I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs. Rosie being a firefighter is a fairly crucial part of the plot. One blustery day, her hat gets blown away from her. She doesn't manage to find it that day and her hat, presumed lost for good, ends up being used as all kinds of things** as it floats around, waiting for her to grow up, become a firefighter, and be called to rescue a cat who is caught up the tree where it eventually lands. Its journey has come full circle and, in a sense, so has Rosie's as she has gone from being that little girl in a little red coat to, if I remember correctly, getting married and having a child of her own.***In the classroom this book can be used to teach knowledge retrieval skills, there are plenty of opportunities for discussion and questions due to the amount of detail in this book. Themes which arise are associated with loss and retrieval.

Several organisations provide grants and funding for primary science projects. There is no reason why very young children could not take part in science projects in school. It might be worth talking to your science subject leader about applying for funding from the following organisations: Rosie's Hat is by Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, but it is quite different. It has become a favourite in our house - I have read it more times than I would care to admit!CREST is a a nationally recognised scheme for student-led project work in the STEM subjects. CREST grants are available to support and enable schools and organistaions to run CREST Awards with young people underrespresentedin STEM. Lachenal, Jessica (9 November 2019).

My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Bella put all this much more succinctly and sweetly than I have managed: "(A) sweet, rhyming story about loosing something (a hat) as a child and being reconnected with it as an adult."(sic)

This book is about a little girl called Rosie who loses her hat due to strong winds. As a result the hat experiences quite an adventure as time passes. The hat meets a dog who takes it through water, where a fisherman catches it he isn't too amused as i am sure he would much prefer to catch a fish. Little boys use the hat to build sand castles and then later as a Frisbee. I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married. This resource focuses on the teaching and learning of science in Early Years (ages 3-5 years) through play. Activities, strategies, provision, and examples of children (ages 3-5) learning science to support EYFS practitioners. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books.Let the younger children (ages 4-5 years) choose their activities. If you have a supporting adult in the classroom, you might want to ask them to manage/observe a particular activity and you could provide them with a list of open-ended questions to develop the children’s thinking and specific science vocabulary.

Look at the use of prepositions in the story, e.g. across, around, over. Can you find any more prepositions? Can you write your own sentences which include prepositions?
