Here We Are: The phenomenal international bestseller from Oliver Jeffers

Product Information

Man rodos, net jeigu istorija nepasirodytų pagavi pats rašymo stilius turi daug potencialo sužavėti. Jeigu, kaip ir aš, mėgstate, kai ne viskas akivaizdu. O šioje knygoje dar ir magija. Tiesiogiai magija. Net ne mano mėgstamas magiškasis realizmas, o grynų gryniausia magija. Ne tik istorijoje, bet ir tekste. 😍 Turiu kelis rašytojus, kurių noriu perskaityt viską, ką jie parašo! Ir, žinokit, panašu, kad Graham Swift į juos papuola! 😍 The ending? Don’t expect conclusive answers. But tell me, isn’t life that way? That I desperately wanted clear answers is the best indicator of the extent to which the story pulled me in. I have come to the conclusion that the ending is perfect. An optimistic snapshot of contemporary life, this heartfelt hug of a book ought to become a classic. And it was strange how in all those shows, all those performances, a whole season's worth, you hardly stopped to think – she never thought about it as she looked at her face in the mirror and placed the tiara, like a regular coronation, in her hair: The sea is right beneath us now. Right beneath us now the waves are swishing and swirling, the fish are darting, the seaweed is swaying this way and that. If the stage were to open up, we'd all go tumbling through to the water.

This is a useful resource that encourages your KS1 class to use the word mat to complete the sentences in a cloze style activity. Watch this video trailer for the book. Could you make your own trailer for this book (or another one of your favourite books)?The dodo explains that it isn’t supposed to be in the book. Why is this? Can you find out about other animals that have become extinct? What can we do to protect animals on our planet? Sunkiai man sekasi atrasti bendrą kalbą su trumpomis istorijomis. Dažniausiai kamuojuosi - man atrodo, kad pasakyta per mažai, per daug sugrūsta simbolizmo, kuris ir egzistuoja tik vardan simbolizmo, o ir jaučiuosi kaip vaikiškame baseine - nei paplauksi, nei panardysi, toks greitas pasipliuškenimas ir tiek. Panašiai jaučiausi ir bandydama atrasti santykį su "Regimybėmis" - tarsi romanas, tačiau tai man pasirodė veikiau novelė dideliu šriftu, dideliausiais tarpais, dailiausiai įpakuota - viskas čia greitai, glaustai, trumpai, o ir nepakankamai giliai, kad pajausčiau stiprų malonumą. Kad ir kaip stengiausi. O stengtis dėl knygos, bandyti ją prisijaukinti, man save pavyksta įtikinti vis rečiau ir rečiau. Take a tour of our beautiful planet and discover its amazing people, creatures, and places in Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jeffers. The themes of the book include: This book contains things that the author thinks his baby son needs to know. Make your own set of notes that tell younger children things they need to know.

Koks pasimėgavimas yra skaityti jo knygas! Jis taip subtiliai ir išmaniai primėto užuominų ir vilioja. Kaip voras mezga tinklą ir gaudo skaitytoją. Vilioja taip, kad saldu. Ir nors suprantu, kad vilioja, bet niekaip atsispirti negaliu, o ir visai nenoriu. Visiškas skaitymo malonumas! Graham Swift vardą įsiminiau nuo pirmosios jo lietuviškai išverstos knygos "Motinų sekmadienis". Jau tada kažkas sukirbėjo viduje, kad tai gali būti vienas tų autorių, kurių kūrybą aš seksiu ir kurių visos knygos bus suskaitytos. Imponavo autoriaus nepretenzingas rašymo stilius, kalbos paprastumas ir tai, kiek daug jis sugeba sutalpinti į tikrai mažos apimties savo kūrinius.

Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers is a thought-provoking and stunning book, perfect for opening up discussions about wellbeing and emotions in children of all ages. Our world can be a bewildering place, especially if you’ve only just got here. Your head will be filled with questions, so this book explores what makes our planet and how we live on it. From land and sky, to people and time, these notes can be your guide and start you on your journey. And you’ll figure lots of things out for yourself. Just remember to leave notes for everyone else… Some things about our planet are pretty complicated, but things can be simple, too: you’ve just got to be kind. Pasakojimo laikas nėra linijinis. Autorius mus mėto ir vėto skleisdamas istoriją lyg daugiabriaunį brangakmenį: štai viena o briauną - vieno iš veikėjų skaudi vaikystė, kita briauna - stilingas ir spalvingas jų pasirodymas, dar viena - meilės peripetijos. Briaunų daug ir visos jos sudaro tikrai nuostabią visumą. A celebration of people all shapes and sizes, and of the beauty and mystery of our Earth.”– Booklist Oliver Jeffers’ inspiration behind Here We Are is his new son, Harland, and his desire to introduce him to “the big globe, floating in space, on which we live”.

In this activity your class will add in the capital letters and full stops to complete the sentences. He had an audience of two, and he stood facing them, the green-topped table beside him. He knew by now that the surface was called “baize”, a nice word, but he knew also that the table was not what it seemed. It was a table and not a table, and this might be true of a great many things. It was the first door that you had to pass through, as it were, into a new way of thinking about everything around you. In his newest novel, acclaimed author Graham Swift marries the erratic devastations of reality with the elusive probability of magic under the lights of vaudeville, a story of delicate illusions where what one chooses to believe can unearth the most revealing connections.Moments of human intimacy jostle with scenes that inspire cosmic awe, and the broad diversity of Jeffers’s candy-colored humans…underscores the twin messages that ‘You’re never alone on Earth’and that we’re all in this together.”– Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) In this activity, your class will read the passage and try to locate the different sounds within words. There is a quote from J.M. Barrie at the beginning of the book. Can you find other inspirational quotes and share what they mean with others? This resource explores some of the lovely vocabulary that Oliver Jeffers uses in the story Here We Are.
