Star in the Jar

Product Information

In een ster van ver maken we kennis met een kleine schatzoeker en zijn grote zus. Het kleine broertje verzamelt dag in dag uit gevonden schatten (veertjes, steentjes,…) tot hij op een dag iets heel bijzonders vindt: een echte ster! An exceedingly enchanting story that encapsulates both the awe and wonder of the stars, the night sky and of the unique bond between siblings . . . Incandescently, radiantly, resplendently brilliant! It's a dazzling delight that will truly shine on your bookshelf', Mr E, The Reader Teacher - It seems sort of odd to need to be celebrating siblings who cooperate, kids who know enough to do the right thing, and endings that are bittersweet happy, but there it is. Full of warmth, this is a lovely story of siblings, friendship and doing what's right that is perfect for sharing just before sleep but too enjoyable to be restricted to bedtime reading only', Jillrbennett, Red Reading Hub - Sarah Massini's artwork glows with warmth and humour and perfectly captures the friendship between the two siblings in this warm-hearted bedtime book. Told from the perspective of the big sister, this is the perfect picture book for siblings to share and read together. The short text and warm tone is ideal for toddlers aged 2 years and up.

So what exactly is sonoluminescence? The short answer is as the name suggests: a release of light caused by sound. In [Justin]’s case, he used an ultrasonic transducer to set up a standing wave at the resonant frequency of a flask of water. A drop of water is used to entrain a small air bubble, which is held in a stable position in the flask in much the same way as styrofoam beads are in an acoustic levitator. Turn off the lights and you’ll see that the bubble glows with a ghostly blue light. You can also find lots more resources created specifically to support and empower children with SEND and their families in our dedicated category. How do I use a reward chart with my child? We applaud [Justin]’s determination to bring this project to a successful conclusion. It’s not unlike his dogged effort to make a cold plasma torch, or even his desktop radio telescope. Perfect for sharing just before sleep but too enjoyable to be restricted to bedtime reading only' – Red Reading Hub If nothing else, [Justin Atkin] is persistent. How else do you explain a five-year quest to create sonoluminescence with simple tools?When a little boy stumbles across a special star, he puts it in a jar and takes it on adventures. Together with his big sister, he takes his special treasure with him everywhere – to the cinema, to the swimming pool and even to the toilet!

This reward chart is easy to use at home and encourages positive behaviour from your child. Display the jar in a prominent position and cut out the stars. Each time your child does something really good, reward them with a star for the jar. The reward chart comes with coloured stars to use as they are and it also provides some blank stars for your child to colour in according to the reasons for receiving a star. Where can I find more behaviour support resources? The drawing and coloring here is a bit whimsical, but clear enough for a young reader/read-to. The narrative is crisp, but with mellow overtones, a light sense of humor, (he took the star in the jar with him on the toilet!), and a clear storyline. The tale makes sense and doesn't wander off into anything that makes you scratch your head and wonder what the point of that was.

Another great resource like this to take a look at is this Food Reward Chat. What are reward charts? Following the success of Pied Piper Theatre’s Burglar Billlast year, this new two hander for very young children follows a similar format. There is little dialogue in Hare and Tortoise, lots of physicality and gentle joking, a neat narrative shape and some catchy songs. And it all sits very happily in the Yvonne Arnaud’s child-friendly studio space. It’s a dazzling delight that will truly shine on your bookshelf. Full of feeling, friendship and fulfilment brought to life and beautifully realised with the finest of writing and illustrations.’ This had just a touch of silly, a little hint of sad parting, a friendly closing, and two engaging kids. That all worked for me. Koop dit boek om voor te lezen aan je allerliefste of gewoon als lichtpuntje in donkere dagen voor jezelf.
