{"title":"Martin W Wenham","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"understanding-art-book-martin-w-wenham-9780761974789","title":"Understanding Art","description":"In any area of the curriculum, children need to learn concepts, facts and skills through first-hand experience. In art, such learning depends on exploring and experimenting with the visual language through which artists communicate, and the visual elements such as line, colour and shape.    The National Curriculum places strong emphasis on experimenting with and applying the visual elements. This book systematically explores the basic knowledge needed to do this effectively. The author deals with the visual elements of art, their properties, how they are related, and especially with the ways in which children′s knowledge of each can be developed through simple but creative activities. Each element is placed in context, with extensive cross-referencing. The author shows how these elements can be observed in the children′s environment and provides examples of how they have been used in works of art and craft.      This accessible book does not assume any specialist knowledge or experience. It is essential for teachers at primary and secondary levels, art co-ordinators and for undergraduate and postgraduate level students of art education.      Martin Wenham is an artist, calligrapher and stone carver who has exhibited at the Craft′s Council. He has taught at the University of Leicester and has over twenty years′ experience of teaching in primary and secondary schools.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554025218321,"sku":"GOR002728596","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584824123665,"sku":"GOR012035517","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0761974784.jpg?v=1751456164"},{"product_id":"understanding-primary-science-book-martin-w-wenham-9781848601192","title":"Understanding Primary Science","description":"Now in its 3rd edition, this book provides a prime resource for for enabling the effective teaching of science at primary level.

It demonstrates how children can use hands-on activities to consolidate and extend their knowledge and understanding.     Investigations are presented in a generic form, so that teachers can work through them and adapt them to meet the particular needs of their own classes. The presentation of activities ranges from highly-structured sequences of instructions and questions (with answers!), to more general discussions, depending on the approach needed and the likely variations in equipment and materials available. Each activity is aimed to help any teacher carry out significant scientific investigations with their class, and where necessary, to learn alongside them.      - Almost every investigation and activity has been tested by the author.   - Investigations use readily-available, non-specialist or recycled materials.      The context of this book is children′s need to learn through first-hand experience of the world around them. This book is an essential resource for teachers planning an effective science programme, or for student teachers needing to broaden their scientific knowledge and understanding.      200 Science Investigations for Young Students is the companion volume of activities which demonstrate the theories in Martin Wenham′s Understanding Primary Science.          The content has been guided by, but not limited to, The National Curriculum 2000  and the Initial Teacher Training Curriculum for Primary Science, issued by the Teacher Training Agency.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49633816084753,"sku":"GOR002487464","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52476198977809,"sku":"NLS9780761963493","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0761963499.jpg?v=1751137607"},{"product_id":"understanding-primary-science-book-martin-w-wenham-9781853962462","title":"Understanding Primary Science","description":"Kitemarked by the TTA    `It will be a welcome companion to the many activity-related primary science programmes which have been published in the last ten years in England. It will fill a gap for teachers of primary science world wide too, as its examples are most generally available, and, though it complements The National Curriculum, it is not tied uniquely to it, either in the language it uses or the topics it includes′ - International  Science Journal      `The author has written a fine book which is a bold attempt to offer information and guidance to those teachers who declare a lack of confidence in their background knowledge of science′ - Primary Science Review       `A publication such as this was long overdue and will be warmly welcomed by many. Highly recommended for schools and primary student teachers′ - Child Education      Based on the requirements of The National Curriculum but not confined to them, the book sets out the facts, develops the concepts and explains the theories needed to understand the observations and investigations which children at primary level are likely to undertake. The aim has been to meet the needs of all primary teachers and their pupils, including those working towards the Attainment Targets at levels 4 and 5, as set out in the Statutory Orders issued in January 1995. This has meant a fundamental rethink of the way in which many science topics are approached and developed, in order to avoid the use of ideas and theories which are too abstract and remote from children′s and teachers′ own experience. Ideas and explanations are supported throughout by practical examples and demonstrations, most of which can be readily adapted for use in the classroom. The text does not assume a great deal of specialized scientific knowledge, but it does assume that readers will be willing to try things out for themselves and think again about experiences which they and their pupils may at present take for granted.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49651359744273,"sku":"GOR001360843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853962465.jpg?v=1750833886"},{"product_id":"understanding-primary-science-book-martin-w-wenham-9781848601185","title":"Understanding Primary Science","description":"Now in its Third Edition, this text provides the background knowledge primary teachers need to plan effective programmes of work and answer children′s questions with confidence. The new edition links explanations of scientific concepts with children′s everyday experiences to help teachers and trainees foresee how they will present the subject knowledge to their pupils.     Shaped by the National Curriculum, this text explains key scientific theories and concepts which pupils at primary level, including very able children, need in order to understand the observations and investigations they undertake. A CD ROM  of 200 science investigations for young students is included with the new edition, allowing teachers to explore the practical application of topics covered in the book.      This is an essential book for teachers, student teachers and anyone interested in the roots and growth of science education.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057152721169,"sku":"NIN9781848601185","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52686689960209,"sku":"NLS9781848601185","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848601182.jpg?v=1751123006"},{"product_id":"understanding-art-book-martin-w-wenham-9780761974772","title":"Understanding Art","description":"The National Curriculum places strong emphasis on experimenting with and applying the visual elements.
