An early childhood education workbook with hands-on science, technology and engineering activities themed around animals and birds. Children learn about caring for toy animals, making footprints in dough and building stable stands for bowls.
This is an early years educational workbook for children at Level 1, focusing on animals, birds and the theme of wonderful super senses. It is designed for use by practitioners and teachers with young learners in a classroom or home setting.
The book opens with animal-themed activities: children identify a happy face, discuss feelings and practice helping a sad friend. A practitioner's note guides adults on encouraging children to name emotions, share and play together.
Science, technology and engineering activities are presented step by step. In the science activity, children gently brush a toy animal's back. The technology activity asks children to predict and test whether walking or hopping makes different trails in play dough.
The engineering activity challenges children to fix a wobbly water bowl by building a steady stand with foam blocks. Each activity follows a structured sequence: notice, ask, test, compare, plan, improve, build and test.
A section on birds introduces species such as pigeon, scarlet macaw, sparrow, parrot, toucan, woodpecker, kingfisher, crow, cuckoo, dove, duck and flamingo. Children match animals to their shadows and circle similar birds.
The book includes a story about a little yellow bird who cannot find her song. The bird meets a cat, a dog and a duck, each making their characteristic sound. Children join in with actions like crouching, stretching, wiggling fingers and whispering.
