You could have heard a pin drop as I finished reading this story with our Reception classes. There is a timeless quality to this story and the children were absolutely spellbound from the start. You cannot fail to be transported to the vast skies and sweeping sands of the coast by Tom Percival’s beautiful illustrations. We talked about the historical details in the first part of the book, from the old-fashioned bus and the father’s outfit to the old photographs on the walls. The children were unanimous is loving the happy ending, of course, and several commented on the excitement they felt as the bear was transported through its perilous journey.

A moving and heart-warming story which shows that nothing is ever truly lost if you keep it in your heart. In the early 2000s, seesaws have been removed from many playgrounds in the United States, citing safety concerns. [8] However, some people have questioned whether or not the seesaws should have been removed, indicating the fun provided by seesaws may outweigh the safety risk posed using them.

It may have been a bit scruffy and worn but that didn’t matter: it was still our favourite.

Before reading the book, look at the front cover and title. What do you think it might be about? Who is the little girl? What did the sea see? Mechanically, a seesaw is a lever which consists of a beam and fulcrum with the effort and load on either sides. [1] Varieties [ edit ] Seesaws are manufactured in creative shapes, designs and a range of fun bright colours to appear attractive to a child. In the southeastern New England region of the United States, it is sometimes referred to as a tilt or a tilting board.
