that fell off the original Theseus and decided to rebuild it. It needed a lot of hard work - and an awful lot of nails. But it looks very good now he's finished. The minute she sees the ship, Dave's wife thinks it's Dave's ship - the Theseus. So what does this mean? They're both called the Theseus.And they both look the same...'

This research sought to understand whether the evidence from the literature conceptualises and operationalises each capacity from a mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual perspective. This PowerPoint will help children to talk about difference positively and respectfully, focusing on all the wonderful things that make each person special and unique. Use this great resource alongside the Twinkl Originals book ' We Are All Different' or as part of your 'All About Me' topic. Take a look at the full range of additional resources to support this book, such as these We Are All Different Discussion Cards. Sample Answers to "What Makes You Unique?" and Why They Work 1. "I am a very good communicator and find it's easy for me to relate to other people." This report explores how ‘core capacities’– or cornerstones of more familiar concepts such as life skills and competences– develop over the early part of the life course, and how they contribute to children’s well-being and development.Play the video. The duration is 4' 22". Questions are posed during the video at the following times: Children's capacities are interconnected with the capacities of adults, who play a modelling role and influence children's chances of developing such capacities themselves.

What Makes Me a Me?” immediately pulls the reader in with its cute beanie-hatted be-spectacled character and the tactile title in glittery letters. This is basically a story about identity, in which the character compares himself to a range of animals, inanimate objects and even the naughty boy next door, concluding that, whilst there are some similarities, he is nothing like any of these and that “everybody’s different in their own special way”. In a diverse world it is good to recognise and celebrate uniqueness, and this book would make a good starting point for discussions with children about similarities and differences in race and culture.As the children enter play your chosen song to sow seeds in the children’s minds - eg ‘Beautiful’ (Christina Aguilera) or ‘Go the distance’ (Hercules) . Display the question image ‘What makes me, me?’ The book’s text is rhythmic and patterned, meaning that the children have been able to join in more and more as they become familiar with the story. Many vocal sounds are cited, such as racing car, superhero and volcano, which the children have enjoyed contributing while I read the story. Children come equipped with capacities that support lifelong learning and development. These capacities need to be promoted and protected. How to work with children: evidence from the literature shows that modalities by which to practice core capacities with children can include more active and multisensory work – using drawing, role play, visuospatial and visuomotor learning, computer-assisted learning, active inquiry, simple listening, and planned reflection (mindfulness), at both school and home are all associated with improved outcomes.

Core capacities are an attempt to identify the foundations of human ability to relate with oneself, others, and the environment, often the focus of the life skills literature (e.g. negotiation skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills). By attempting to identify abilities that are ‘elementary’ (or non-divisible) the core capacities in the L4WB Framework offer a new way of conceptualising skills development without seeking to replace existing life skills models – complementing the same ambitions – whilst also offering a point of consensus across various life skills models. The framework also views these capacities as fundamentally human skills, which are held in varying degrees and expressed differently by each individual (children and adults), that this uniqueness is valuable, and that public systems including education systems, should both promote the development of these skills, and protect these skills from being ‘taught out’ of children. And we keep growing into teenagers. Then adults. And we continue changing our whole lives. Our hair grows and falls out and more grows without us even noticing. We get a whole new set of teeth. Everything changes. So if every part of us gets replaced too, Like Dave's ship, then that raises a big question.'

Who's been really missing Dave a great deal, is surprised. She wants to know why he's got a new ship.' The main character looks a similar age to the children in my class, so his picture on the front cover meant they could connect with the book immediately. The character and colourful text makes it an eye-catching choice, causing Noah to comment on the sparkly letters on the cover.
