Journey

Product Information

The characters in this book are amazingly expressive. Look at their postures and gestures and discuss what this tells you about how they feel. Make a collection of the best words you can find to describe these emotions. Talk about body language and try expressing different emotions physically. I also have two Q&A’s that might get your students wondering about being authors themselves one day(!): Start this activity with some guided visualisation. Give each child a coloured crayon or pencil. Use a variety of colours – one colour per child. To begin, have them hold the coloured pencil and think about the things that colour reminds them of. Now invite them to imagine in their ‘mind’s-eye’ (like television pictures running in their head) that they are at home in their room. It’s a dull day. Everyone else is busy doing their own thing. Imagine that you look down at your crayon. You have an idea! You go over to the wall and draw a door with your crayon. You open the door and step through into another world.

trying to save a vibrant lilac bird which has been imprisoned. Disaster strikes when, having freed the bird, she is caught by angry guards who throw away her What words would you use to describe the bright and colourful world the girl opens her red door into?There are no words in the book, just pictures. And what amazing pictures they are! They're incredibly detailed, yet also simple. It looks like the illustrator used a variety of materials to create the pictures. Throughout much of the book, cool and muted colours are used, so the touches of red really stand out. There's also a steampunk-ish flavour to some of the illustrations, which I wasn't expecting (but which I really liked).

Secondary Year 6 leavers - Covid-safe transition activities and ideas It's been a chaotic year but Year 6 children still deserve the best ending to their primary journeyAs part of our transition work with HSMS, all the First schools will be looking at this text. Next term (if all goes to plan), you will be studying the follow-up to this text (The Quest). It is lovely for the Y5 teachers to see what you are capable of as writers, illustrators and designers: and the work you do this term will be followed up by your new teacher, next year. In the story the girl takes a crayon and draws a doorway out of her bedroom. Firstly can you spot any clues to the story within her room (watch yesterdays Youtube video and see if you can spot the clues). In a large, clear space, explore repetitive motions before creating a giant working ‘machine’ by combining individual actions. Start with a single child before adding each new motion to the whole. The Number Theory. Made By Aaron M. Natural Counting Numbers. Natural Counting Numbers are {1,2,3…} Whole Numbers are like Counting Numbers. They just have a 0 instead Ex. {0,1,2,3…}= Counting Numbers Remember Whole Numbers has the hole “0”. Integers. Have a look at some of the inventions created by Heath Robinson. Choose one of the inventions and write a set of instructions to explain how it works.

It has pictures depicting a young girl’s imaginative afternoon in which she journeys into a world of her creation. She has a nice red crayon that works a bit like Harold’s purple crayon. I'd never heard of Journey. My mom heard about it somewhere, though, and she borrowed it from the library. I borrowed it from her. And I was completely enchanted by it. Let your imagination lead the way and begin your journey. Think of names for the places and things you draw.

Thank you. I've adapted this to the first person to use early in a unit of work about the voyage of the Mayflower. And together, they made a bicycle! They can continue on to new journeys and worlds together. Two crayons are better than one 🙂 Closing (savasana, or resting pose) Atlantis. Atlantis. Compiled By Aaron Balido. Final Question.

Mime drawing that item, if it’s really big. Pretend you have a crayon and draw some big things to help you get from place to place. Introduction to the story

Looking for something different

Take an opportunity to enjoy using descriptive language and extending word choices through modelling. For example: what would happen if this object…grew to be enormous? …had magic powers? …wanted a friend? …came to life? …belonged to somebody else (the queen, a lion, a visitor from outer space)? Bring a red rug into school (the sort you can roll up and carry under one arm) and use it for story sharing in small groups with an adult helper (perhaps in secret locations around the school). Invite children to sit on the rug and talk about the special places they would like to go.
