Recenzii

"The benefits that working with wood offers young children shine through in this timely and informative book that will become a mainstay of your setting."
Neil Henty, Early Years Educator Magazine, UK.
"Every so often a book is written that helps practitioners to develop their work in deep and far reaching ways. This is that sort of book."
Tina Bruce CBE, University of Roehampton, UK.
"With 25 years of experience, the author draws on practical examples, revealing a treasure trove of ideas to put into practice, as well as advice on materials and tools, and staff training."
Neil Henty, eye
"The book is carefully structured to guide the reader through a detailed rationale for teaching and learning through woodwork; these concepts build in a natural way as the book progresses, and are all underpinned by theoretical and pedagogical perspectives, as well as being placed within historical and current contexts. The case studies, as well as the photographic illustrations, interspersed throughout the chapters, all emphasise key principles for good practice, and bring the themes to life. The snippets of conversation and dialogue, recorded from conversations with children engaged in the projects, cannot fail to demonstrate the deep learning and thoughtful and reflective comments that children are capable of under the right conditions. As readers, Moorhouse gives us an insight into how his philosophy, and his vision for what is possible, can be made into a reality in any classroom or setting. The tone of the book is spot on, and speaks to the reader, making us feel as though we are being well advised by someone who understands."
Susan Ogier, University of Roehampton, UK
