The Worrysaurus

Product Information

Five activities based around the DERIC reading skills; decode, explain, retrieve, interpret and choice using the text The Worrysaurus by Rachel Bright. 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. It might be me, but teaching „Carpe Diem“ to pre-schoolers, they of the „why do I need to go to bed? Why do I need to brush teeth? Why do I need to go to the bathroom before long travels?“ seems extremely, nay horribly, insanely ill-advised. Can Worrysaurus find a way to chase his fears away and have fun? The perfect book to help every anxious little dinosaur let go of their fears and feel happy in the moment.

This reading unit comprises 6 weeks of shared reading sessions, focusing on the teaching of key reading skills from Development Matters. Each weekly plan provides an opportunity for the practise of prediction, clarifying of vocabulary and retrieval skills as well as having a mastery focus for explicit teaching of inference. Exploring vocabulary relating to the word ‘worry’ using a word map, including exploring definitions, synonyms and antonyms and putting the word into context. 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. All about a dinosaur who plans a whole day but then he worries about lots of things for his adventure. His overthinking starts to get in the way and he has butterflies. He remembers his mum's words about chasing the worries away.Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Por su parte, Chris Chatterton comenzó su carrera en diseño gráfico y animación, trabajando en una variedad de proyectos, incluidos Dr Who y The Dumping Ground de CBBC.
