About the artwork<br />
All the artwork in this series of books is:<br />
• age-appropriate<br />
• teacher- and child-friendly<br />
• an additional resource to help develop the theme<br />
• suitable for enlarging for:<br />
~ colouring<br />
~ handwriting<br />
~ dot-to-dot sheets<br />
~ use as templates for art and craft activities<br />
~ visual texts to encourage oral language development.<br />
Some artworks are based on simple shapes to support learning in the mathematics<br />
area; others are more elaborate. It is anticipated that early childhood teachers will<br />
view an illustration based on shapes and be able to use this idea to develop concrete<br />
play activities using shapes or as a technology and design project. More elaborate<br />
artwork is used to demonstrate a teaching resource which needs to be made, a recipe,<br />
game or other activity.<br />
Examples of artwork relating to art and craft activities have wide, bold, easily visible<br />
cutting outlines to allow the children some variation in the cutting path they will use.<br />
About the resource sheets/blacklines<br />
Resource sheets/blacklines contain:<br />
• simple, age-appropriate artwork<br />
• prominent visual clues<br />
• little or no text<br />
• visual clues to support text pages<br />
• few instructions, so as not to confuse beginning readers<br />
• teacher instructions in the margins with a number of different<br />
suggestions for using the resource sheet/blackline<br />
• literacy and numeracy activities.<br />
These resource sheets/blacklines are included as valuable time-savers<br />
for teachers.<br />
It is anticipated that the teacher will enlarge any pages to A3 size and<br />
photocopy them onto more durable paper or card, to make them easier<br />
for learners of this age group to manipulate.<br />
The cross-curricular section of each theme includes a reference to<br />
resource sheets/blacklines relating to specific activities.<br />
