Star in the Jar

Product Information

Another great resource like this to take a look at is this Food Reward Chat. What are reward charts? Sarah Massini's artwork glows with warmth and humour and perfectly captures the friendship between the two siblings in this warm-hearted bedtime book. Told from the perspective of the big sister, this is the perfect picture book for siblings to share and read together. The short text and warm tone is ideal for toddlers aged 2 years and up. You can also find lots more resources created specifically to support and empower children with SEND and their families in our dedicated category. How do I use a reward chart with my child? This reward chart is easy to use at home and encourages positive behaviour from your child. Display the jar in a prominent position and cut out the stars. Each time your child does something really good, reward them with a star for the jar. The reward chart comes with coloured stars to use as they are and it also provides some blank stars for your child to colour in according to the reasons for receiving a star. Where can I find more behaviour support resources?

This had just a touch of silly, a little hint of sad parting, a friendly closing, and two engaging kids. That all worked for me.

So what exactly is sonoluminescence? The short answer is as the name suggests: a release of light caused by sound. In [Justin]’s case, he used an ultrasonic transducer to set up a standing wave at the resonant frequency of a flask of water. A drop of water is used to entrain a small air bubble, which is held in a stable position in the flask in much the same way as styrofoam beads are in an acoustic levitator. Turn off the lights and you’ll see that the bubble glows with a ghostly blue light. If nothing else, [Justin Atkin] is persistent. How else do you explain a five-year quest to create sonoluminescence with simple tools? Whilst marvelling at the night sky one evening, he realises the star is not quite as happy as he and so sets out to return it to its rightful home. Perfect for sharing just before sleep but too enjoyable to be restricted to bedtime reading only’ – Red Reading Hub

Catherine Chapman’s designs – flowers, snow, carrots, russet leaves, and more – underpin the seasonal progression, once Tortoise has emerged from hibernation and we await the famous race. It seems sort of odd to need to be celebrating siblings who cooperate, kids who know enough to do the right thing, and endings that are bittersweet happy, but there it is. One that I will be highly recommending to teachers and schools to share. Several schools that I visit utilise a praise system whereby pupils place a star in the jar for demonstrating positive behaviour and so this would definitely enhance and complement that practice. When a little boy stumbles across a special star, he puts it in a jar and takes it on adventures. Together with his big sister, he takes his special treasure with him everywhere – to the cinema, to the swimming pool and even to the toilet!We applaud [Justin]’s determination to bring this project to a successful conclusion. It’s not unlike his dogged effort to make a cold plasma torch, or even his desktop radio telescope. An exceedingly enchanting story that encapsulates both the awe and wonder of the stars, the night sky and of the unique bond between siblings . . . Incandescently, radiantly, resplendently brilliant! It's a dazzling delight that will truly shine on your bookshelf', Mr E, The Reader Teacher - Ebony Feare is a deliciously charismatic tortoise, languorous with an impressive range of reptilian faces and stances and a resonant singing voice. Stefan Stuart’s ever impatient hare, more boyish than leporine, makes for an appropriately lively contrast despite his weaker singing voice.
