Greenbank Primary: First Aid Brought to Life is a narrative
non-fiction that tells a story. It tells a story of a town called
Humphrington, a school called Greenbank Primary and the Matthews
family engaging with family, friends and teachers. The main theme
throughout the book is 'what can you, as a 10-12 year old person,
do to give first aid in a medical emergency?' What are the simple
key actions that you could take to help someone recover from a
serious asthma attack, seizure, severe wound, broken limb and even
drowning and cardiac arrest? Given that success rates in the UK for
survival outside of hospital for cardiac arrest are below 10% there
is a need for knowledge especially at a young age. In countries
that invest in training young children in life saving skills,
survival rates are far better than the UK. This book aims for
improvement.
This book features over 100 fun activities that kids will love,
with magic tricks, food to cook, plants to grow and games to play.
All the projects use easy, safe materials and equipment you will
find around the home. Among the many items to make or paint are a
feather headdress, wooden spoon puppets and a printed T-shirt. For
budding scientists there are simple experiments that will answer
children's questions about light, sound, electricity and water. It
offers clear stage-by-stage photography for every project and
lively finished pictures to inspire and delight. This brilliant
book is packed with exciting ideas that combine crafting fun,
learning and play. Young musicians can make their own instruments
and discover a whole new range of sounds to explore - a cardboard
tube easily becomes a kazoo and a bottle xylophone can be created
in next to no time. Children will also be tempted into the kitchen
by an imaginative collection of easy recipes, from funny face
pizzas to a wobbly dessert pond. And when it's time for a party,
here are all the ideas you will need for games, decorations and
teatime treats.
'There's never been a better time to encourage the little people to
develop their natural abilities to be wise, calm and mind. This
book is full of approachable yet effective ways to makemindfulness
part of family life, whatever that looks like for you.' - Rohan
Gunatillake, Creator of buddhify This inspirational and timely
guide is about how mindfulness helps children, why it's becoming
more popular and how to do it. It combines practical exercises that
children can complete alongside their parents/carers with a fun and
engaging commentary on the theory and science behind the practice.
Uz takes you through the day, from waking, eating, learning and
appreciating to sleeping, including exercises for how to cope with
exams, how to deal with the screen culture and what mindfulness
practises you can do in holiday time. Together, this gives the
reader an enjoyable and accessible path into the practice of
mindfulness for children. Many schools are not able to include
mindfulness in their curricula and educators and parents alike are
eager to have more guidance on how to support children. This
current era of rising levels of child mental health, with the
pressures in schools as well as the increasingly fast-paced,
digitized and image-obsessed world is having a really negative
effect. Mindfulness for Children is a positive and practical tool
that will give children the skills to manage their feelings,
increase their confidence and concentration levels as well as
aiding their transition to secondary school. And it can help
parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving
stress.

fashion collection. This includes finding inspiration, making a
mood board, collecting and gathering research, choosing colours and

pattern, building a capsule selection of garments into a
collection, and then creating a `lookbook' to show off the new
range. There are also spreads about preparing for the runway show,
including hair and make-up. Finally, there's the high-street launch
to consider. The book is aimed at children aged eight and over, but
older children and younger teens should also find plenty to keep
them inspired. Has the genuine feel of a real sketchbook: it has an
elastic closure, and the front cover is die-cut so that the child
can sign the title page beneath to make their own fashion-label
logo.
Foreword by Fearne Cotton.
The Joy Journal for Magical Everyday Play by Laura Brand showcases fifty engaging activities for creative, everyday playtime to encourage a connection to nature, sense of joy and bonding with your kids, while nurturing your own inner child too.
The activities are mindful, creative and, crucially, very easy things to make and do with children that you will enjoy as much as they will. From moon sand to flower soup and nature wands there are short, long, loud and quiet activities to take you from morning to evening – each with a focus on the risk factors: volume of effort vs child engagement and mess. Laura Brand has been testing these while writing and raising her two-under-two, and shares the happy accidents and road blocks she’s hit along the way in honest, open and often funny introductions to each of the exercises.
This beautiful handbook will help you to inject fun, mindfulness and craft into bath-times, rainy afternoons, long journeys and play dates and to resist (as much as possible!) the temptation to succumb to screen time. Chapters take you through the seasons, with indoor, outdoor and on-the-go activities that are easy and fun every day.
The Joy Journal will arm you with a variety of fun, focussed activities made with store cupboard and easily foraged supplies that you can turn to time and again. All activities are suitable for toddlers, pre-schoolers, grown-ups and everyone in between.
