Publisher's Synopsis
This fourth book of a pre-school series of six titles developed in accordance with the government's new foundation guidelines focuses on the world of work and living and growing. It includes a remembering collage, life cycles, traditional stories, feelings and describes different types of work, including firefighters, police, doctors, teachers and vets.;The guidelines have six core early learning goals which are incorporated into each title in the series: physical development; creative development; personal, social and emotional development; communication, language and literacy; mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world. These new goals are not age-related, but attained in "stepping stones" stages that children aged 3 to 5 can work through at their own pace. "Play and Learn" incorporates this "stepping stone" ideology, with Book 1 being the easiest and Book 6 being the hardest. Each book uses colourful artwork and stimulating scenarios.
