Review
The book starts with a comprehensive and informative introduction. A very clear planning grid shows how the activities in the book link to the areas of learning. This seems to me to be a very useful and practical book that could be used in any sort of pre-school or Reception class setting. It may well be worth checking out some of the books in this series for your Early Years setting. --TES Website, May 2008<br /><br />This is one of twelve titles in the Play Foundation series. Each A4 page contains a lesson plan to cover one of the six areas of Learning and Development in the EYFS. I was impressed how each activity encouraged independent learning with very little adult intervention. I believe this would be a very useful resource for teaching science to the foundation age groups. --Anita Loughrey, Write Away, June 2008
very carefully designed to offer help and guidance to any early years practitioner... --Lois Nott, Early Years Online, June 2008
