The term 'busy bees' is particularly appropriate when describing young children. Children from ages 2-5 are on the go much of the time. Their interest in exploring and learning new things is exciting to watch. However, reports about the skill and activity levels of older children are very disturbing and, as educators, demand our attention. The classroom teacher needs to instruct and monitor the child's motor skills. This book has been designed to help the classroom teacher with this prospect. The entire purpose of this book is to provide practical and easy ways teachers can help pupils develop gross motor skills while increasing their activity level. Provided in the introductory pages of Gross motor skills is background information on motor planning, body awareness, bilateral integration and tactile awareness. An understanding of the basics of each of these areas will help teachers in monitoring and instructing pupils in motor skills. Included is information on each topic, characteristics of children having difficulty within each area, and suggestions for helping these pupils. Included at the end of the introduction are developmental checklists of gross motor skills of children from ages 3-5. Following the introductory pages, the book is divided into seven major sections. 'Spatial and body awareness' contains activities that help each pupil understand his or her own body's potential for movement. Through action songs and poems, as well as creative movement activities such as using streamers, the pupil will develop a better understanding of his or her own personal space and the space around him or her. Activities devoted to walking, running, jumping, and more are included in the section, 'Locomotor skills'. Developing these skills is crucial to helping pupils gain further success in any other movement experience. The 'Ball skills' section provides ideas for learning to throw, catch and play with balls.

Focusing on different aspects of play and relating them to various contexts such as places that we visit and past times, this book is packed with fun and exciting activities that enable the child to make sense of the world that they live in and relate it to their own experiences in order to enhance their personal and social development.

"There once was a child who was eager to race, She ran through the day at the fastest pace. Excited about the super-power she'd found, She had forgotten to enjoy the beauty around. My child come sit and talk to me, Take in this world more slowly. You can still be super. You can still have powers. But slowing down increases the hours. By slowing down new beauty the day brings, Allowing you to enjoy more things. Listen and look as you take a seat. And enjoy this world that is under your feet". Maud felt comforted for the first time and thought that each day she would try to listen and look and enjoy this world that is under her feet, noticing for the first time all the wonderful things that were around her. An excellent rhyming moral learning tale written by Sarah Surgey (author of THE HEAVY BAG), illustrated by Sayani Mukherjee.
