What Happened Previously?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Previously,’ one afternoon.

This children’s book was written by Allan Ahlberg, and illustrated by Bruce Ingman.

The story begins with Goldilocks, and tells her story in reverse to the beginning.

I know confusing!

However this book has a unique way to tell various fairytale stories backwards using the word “Previously” to explain what happened “Previously” – get the picture.

If you get confused, the beautifully illustrated pictures should help.

This book is an interesting and exciting read that I’d recommend reading with young children, as you never know what happens next, or should I say “Previously!”

So why not read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

What is Alphablocks?

Have you ever watched Alphablocks?

It’s an animated spelling programme for children that use Phonics, teaching letter sounds and making spelling more fun.

Joe Elliot is the creator of Alphablocks.

It’s animated by Blue-Zoo and produced by Alphablocks Ltd and is shown on CBeebies.

As an adult I believe this is the best Phonics programme for children on television at present.

My grandson is not yet able to speak let alone read, however he likes to dance to the musical rhymes, and will no doubt grow his vocabulary from this show when he is able to do so!

The singing letters creating words make a wonderful comical story, which is great to watch, some of the songs are very catchy.

The last one I watched was about the letter “i” for a couple of days I have been singing it myself!

It’s definitely worth watching and great for children too! 

My final thought: it’s a great programme that should be used to educate children in nursery and primary school.

Well wouldn’t you prefer to be taught by the Alphablocks than a teacher?

Who are the Dinopaws?

“Dinopaws,” is an animated dinosaur children’s series that has been co-produced between Impossible Kids, Kindle Entertainment, and Guru Studio which was made for CBeebies. 
Alan Gilbey is the developer and lead writer.

The first time I watched this animated show I didn't like the theme tune or the programme.

However, I have watched it every morning since it appeared on CBeebies and now love it.

The story lines are based on three young Dinopaws (like dinosaurs – play on words) named Gwen, Bob and Tony who are exploring their world for the first time.

The characters are very fresh and innocent, looking at things in a different way and making up words to the things they see or find. It could quite easily be written from a child’s point of view, very cute.

My favourite character has to be Gwen she looks like a prehistoric bird and knows everything. 

One of her famous lines is, “I know, I know, I know.”

As an adult, I believe the programme brings a freshness and innocence that a child has when looking at things for the first time. It also shows friendship.

 

It’s worth watching, the story lines are simple, the animation really good.

My final thought:there's only one issue with Gwen’s counting, “One, one, one,” she only counts in one’s, slight problem if you are teaching your child to count!
