How Artists See is designed to teach children the art of
observation and increase their visual literacy. These interactive,
inquiry-based books - great for both home and classroom - invite
young readers to compare and contrast the ways in which different
artists treat similar themes. They are an ideal way to introduce
kids to art. This new edition of How Artists See Play is revised
and redesigned from cover to cover. More than two-thirds of the
featured artworks are newly selected, and they are even more
stylistically and culturally diverse - ranging from an ancient
Egyptian sculpture to a Persian miniature to a woodcarving by a
contemporary Hispanic artist. Also available in the series: How

'There's a growing awareness that for the good of their health,
children need to be out and about more, with their friends,
exploring the outdoor world in their own way.' - Nicola Butler,
Director of the Free Play Network It is widely acknowledged that
children today do not get outdoors often enough and there are
serious concerns about children's activity levels and rising
associated behavioural, mental and health problems. With such
structured and technology-driven lives, it is easy for young
children to stay indoors, play on computers and not socialise with
other children in a healthy and active way. This book not only
supports 'playing out' as an integral part of children's natural
growth and development, but also provides early years workers with
a full programme of outdoor physical activities to promote
physical, social and behavioural skills. This book is a guidebook
to setting up an outdoor physical activity programme in any early
years setting. The book focuses on how getting outdoors and taking
part in physical activities will provide children with positive fun
experiences to enhance their general learning and development. The
programme can be adapted to suit any timescale - from a whole term
to one or two days. Key features include showing practitioners: how
to make the most of their outdoor area for all children step by
step explanations to the outdoor activities how to engage
participants (including parents) how to set up and plan activities
ideas for group and individual assessment how to carry out risk
assessments how an outdoors programme can change children's lives
for the better.

In this volume the author examines the place of dance in
contemporary Britain. By doing so, he sets out to provide the
historical, political and structural elements necessary to achieve
a broad understanding of dance in society. He poses the question as
to whether Britain has its own dance culture, examines the place of
dance outside the theatrical environment (in schools, for example),
and looks at the place of dance in the community.
Which ancient cultures enjoyed a bit of sporting competition? Who won the first marathon? How hard do top tennis players hit the ball, and which is the most dangerous sport? Whether you hit it, bounce it, run at top speed or ride in or on it, Infomojis: Sports is all about exploring sport in a fun and engaging way. Core scientific areas of investigation are covered, such as how streamlined F1 cars are designed to reduce drag and why athletes' bodies need muscle power to compete!
The book features custom-made 'infomojis' - presenting the information with real personality! So inject fun into facts, and take your young astronomer to the next evolution in infographics.
Infomojis is a series of ten books that are perfect for curious readers aged 8+.
