“Roxy’s Dream” - Early Years (3-7 years):
Roxy's Dream is an Early Years project that meets the prime areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The aims are to develop children's resilience and make them more confident to overcome challenges, teach children about healthy eating, oral hygiene and the importance of physical activity, encourage children to believe in themselves, build their self-esteem and confidence, help children develop good friendships that give them a sense of belonging, and encourage children to talk openly about their feelings.
This story has been written at just the right level for 3-7 year olds and will be a tool to open many conversations between the adult and children. They will learn to express difficult emotions and to feel safe telling how they feel to a trusted adult. They can also explore what it is to follow a healthy lifestyle and how that can help us to feel better about ourselves.
The book clearly sets out its goals which are then broken down into themes, each of which can take the form of a lesson. There are four lesson themes to follow.
The illustrations are engaging with plenty to look at and talk about. The characters have expressive faces that the children could copy – show me a worried face….what might make you feel like that?
The book will help Parents to realise how important it is to think into their child’s mind, asking them how they feel about things that have happened that day; keeping communication open from an early age.
