The Worrysaurus (DinoFeelings)

Product Information

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’re all grown-up, sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember it’s been there all along. Like many children, Worrysaurus feels more anxious in situations that he can’t fully control. Having a plan keeps him calm at first, but when he starts to think about all the things that MIGHT go wrong, his mood changes from buoyant to deflated. Al final de la historia queda un tranquilizador mensaje en donde se invita al lector a perder el miedo enfrentándose a lo desconocido, sin preocuparse en exceso por lo pueda devenir y a aprender a convivir con este sentimiento sin permitir que nos paralice o nos impida realizar actividades que deseamos. Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters.

A su vez, de forma subyacente, fomenta el desarrollo de la autoestima, el valor, la fortaleza interna, la superación, la familia y el amor. La edad ideal a la que yo recomendaría este libro es entre los 3 y los 7 años, pues tanto su mensaje como su profundidad son completamente adaptables y explotados en función de las habilidades del educador.I can recognise and name the numbers 10-20. I can say the number that is 1 more or 1 less than a number to 20 Sin duda alguna el trabajo emocional es imperante en las primeras etapas de la vida, no solo para ayudar a los pequeños a conocerse y entenderse, sino también para ayudarlos a saber expresarse y gestionar sus emociones. La pluma de la autora es dulce y produce efecto arrullador, tales características aunadas a unas tiernas imágenes de tonos pastel, ambientes muy naturales, bucólicos y coloridos hacen que abrir el libro sea toda una delicia. She collects alphabets and hats and has a Nissan Figaro car which everyone says looks like a matchbox toy. It’s easy to ‘overthink’, and dwell on either past or future events rather than stay focussed on the present. Worrysaurus becomes so preoccupied about the ‘what if’s’ that he forgets that everything is currently going just fine: the sun is shining, but he’s fretting about rain.

She loves nothing more than getting all inky in the printmaking studio where she’ll often work super late, when there’s magic in the air. Characterisation and linking to other familiar stories or characters/activating prior knowledge and discussion of fiction and non fiction La temática sobre la que gira la historia es el miedo en diferentes vertientes; miedo a lo desconocido, a lo inesperado o a la incertidumbre que nos ocasiona la vida diaria, así como la forma que tiene de paralizarnos. A partir de un pequeño dinosaurio que se convierte rápidamente en intrépido amigo del lector el pequeño va a descubrir una de las emociones más complejas de entender para su edad como es la preocupación.Let your child choose a place in your room where you can keep the box safe each night while theysleep. Letting your child make this decision helps your child gain some control over her worries. Theyknowexactly where they are while theysleep. The box should not be kept in the child’s room, as that is their safe space. She also runs an impressively global card and gift empire called ‘the brightside’ and occasionally practices her evil laugh.

I have been looking for a book to help children understand their feelings and worries that they may have, and this is it! The Worrysaurus is a little dinosaur who has lots of anxious thoughts about what could go wrong in his daily life, but he is brave and finds several ways to conquer them and is happy. The language is easily accessible, and the author’s use of rhyme produces a lullaby-effect to soothe children and make them feel calm. Activity 8 - Starts with a word class activity and then moves on to read the rest of the text, developing a love of reading and reading for pleasure. It concludes with KS1 SATs style questions. Activity 9 - Starting with a retelling activity/game teaching the retrieval skill, then moving on to focus on the skill of interpret with a PSHE/PSED theme. Helping children understand the feeling of worry and how to deal with it. There is also a science and D&T element that can be built into this activity through your topic lessons. She explores the lovliness of words and the magic of pictures, revelling in a world of jam-eating miniature bears and other made-up animals. Es maravillosa la forma en que la autora transmite la información. Constantemente hace uso de comparaciones, notas poéticas y rimas, que buscan que el niño se sienta admirado y desee acercarse más a la palabra escrita ya que se sienten atraídos por su sonoridad.Personalmente me ha parecido una historia maravillosa, muy didáctica y lúdica que trabaja las emociones y la forma de tratarlas dirigida y adaptada a los pequeños. También me parece muy apropiado como recurso educativo no solo por sus increíbles y simpáticas imágenes o su motivador personaje, sino por todas las opciones que ofrece para trabajar tanto en familia como en el aula. Based around the DERIC reading skills and incorporating phonics too (explained in the resource) using the text Worrysaurus by Rachel Bright.

She’s done zillions of different jobs before becoming an author and illustrator, including owning a landscape gardening business, being a life-guard and a TV extra (she was once taken hostage by Daleks in 'Dr.Who'). Her first proper boss was Samantha Cameron, now of No.10 Downing St. Activity 6 - Focuses on decoding, explaining new vocab, retrieve and interpreting using the blurb. There is also a focus on nouns. La historia representa con exactitud las inquietudes de los más pequeños y se gana su favor al describir rutinas de aseo y alimentación con las que no solo se ejemplifica y transmite hábitos saludables, sino que ayuda a sentirse identificado con sus tareas diarias. Exploring vocabulary relating to the word ‘worry’ using a word map, including exploring definitions, synonyms and antonyms and putting the word into context.and with those little wordlings, he calmed his busy brain, since when the sun is shining, why worry it will rain?” The book introduces the idea of butterflies representing a worry and the feeling of having butterflies in your stomach. I would discuss this with a class, and it would help them to talk about their feelings, for example: “I have a big butterfly today”. Younger children who tend to struggle wording their emotions/ feelings could really benefit from this. We would create a list of things to do when you have a worry, inspired by the book, such as sharing it with a trusted adult and doing things that make you happy. I would give each child a picture of a happy box and ask them to draw or write all of the things that bring them joy. I would then put these up on our well being wall and encourage the children to use it when they are feeling blue. El preocupasaurio" es un álbum ilustrado infantil perteneciente a la nueva colección de Rachel Bright en donde la figura principal y protagonista de la historia se corresponde con uno de los personajes que más pasión, admiración y curiosidad despierta en los niños de las primeras etapas; el dinosaurio. Put away the worries: Find five minutes each night (preferably before the bedtime story) where you and your child can discuss theirworries from the day. P arents should write one worry per piece of paper (great use for those extra post-it notes) as your child describes them. Proceed slowly. Allow your child to place each worry in the box before you write the next one down. After you’ve written down the worries for the night, help your child place the box in the identified safe place. As theysettleinto sleep, remind themthat you will keep their worries safe so that theycan be worry-free at night.
