Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: CHCECE007
Your Assignment Type: Case Scenario
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Beginner

Your Question?
Five year old Simon is very interested in dinosaurs and has many books, posters, toys and puzzles depicting dinosaurs. You overhear the following dialogue between Shaun 3 and half years and Simon

Shaun: Your dinosaur is going to eat my lion all up

Simon: No, he won't, this is a triceratops, he is a herbivore, he only eats plants and trees and stuffs

Shaun: No.. he eats all the lions and everything because he has big big teeth

Simon: No he doesn't....(walks towards educator and asks) Triceratops don't eat lions, do they?

As the educator, how would you respond?


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I will simply say him," Simon no doubt triceratops has a big teeth but he does not eat meat, he only rely on plants and trees. Other species of dinosaurs like a Velociraptor and Allosaurus eat meat, but Triceratops is a herbivore.

My teacher is not happy with this respond.

Maybe something like:

"How about we find out some more information on the Triceratops to see exactly what they eat. Shaun can join us too so he can find some other dinosaurs that eat lions".
