Once There Were Giants

Product Information

A good book for Key Stage 1 or Early Years, however, some may find the illustrations a bit dark and more exciting things could have happened during her lifetime. However, there are lots of cross-curricula elements to the book. It is a good book for exploring the past, present and future so children can understand their own past and where they came from. Using this context children could create their own timelines, understanding a sense of the past. The book also highlights the importance of family and this could be used in a PSHE lesson or to create a family tree. The book also explores feelings, for example her first day at school and into arguments with children at school and her brother. Using this book children could understand where they are now in their own lives, and what they would like to happen in the future and what may happen to them. Oh! Just lovely. My children are grown, and so this story and the artwork just turned me into mush. It reminds me just a bit of Where Did The Baby Go? so if you like that you'll love this. (And vice-versa. ;) The age-old fascination with giants has persisted throughout human history and transcended throughout our culture. Tales of these colossal figures have sparked our imagination and curiosity for generations.

In 2013, after heavy storms in Ecuador, a large female skull was found in Aloha province. Scientists determined the skull was approximately 600 years old. The discovery of the skull inspired a search for the rest of the skeleton, the parts of which were found and assembled a few weeks later. The skeleton stood at 7ft 4” tall, which was astounding, considering that the average height of a woman in those days was only 5ft 8”. Think of all the things that you have achieved and can do. Can you write some sentences about your achievements? Dont forget a capital letter to start your sentence and a full stop at the end. Once criticism of this book is that it is very short nonetheless, this can be an advantage depending on which group of pupils this book is being read to. For example, if this book is read to pupils with SEN, this is a good resource due to some pupils having ambiguity with focusing on a task for too long.

look at photos of family members and talk about special times. You could make a family tree using the template or get creative with your own ideas. For your last week of home learning we are going to reflect on how much we have grown up and learnt. We would like you to share the story, ‘Once There Were Giants’ by Martin Waddell.There are few signs that ancient humans ever grew much taller than we do. While anthropologist Lee Berger once claimed that some members of a species of archaic hominin, H. heidelbergensis , grew to over 7 feet tall, there’s little evidence that’s true. A good mentor text for writing memoirs, a girl tells the story of her life in rhyme, with "photos" and directions to find her in each scene. Shows how life cycles, and is also a good book to teach perspective or point of view. Here I am going on about ways to use is to teach when I also shouldn't overlook the sweetness or the reflection on life that the book has.
