Circle Time for Young Children

By Jenny Mosley. This book contains well structured and purposeful circle session plans that incorporate not only the curriculum for personal, social and emotional development but which will also enable young children to understand universal moral values and practise problem solving skills. Circle Time also facilitates language development, confidence building and the five vital skills of looking, listening, speaking, thinking and concentrating. Because children find Circle Time very motivating the may make developmental strides that can be difficult to achieve in more formal settings. The handbook explains each facet of Quality Circle Time in a why-what format. Each chapter will include tick sheets and bullet-pointed pages to aid clarity and ease reading. At least half the book contains examples of how the rationale works in practice.
