Leo (4.9yrs) made an animal circus house today. He carefully combined lots of different materials to build his structure. I asked him to tell me about what he had made and this is what he said:
“I made a new house for the animals ‘cause they didn’t like their house any more. It’s call a animal circus house so they can play and make rockets and watch movies if they want to.”
Leo pointed out the features of the ACH. “This is the big screen TV’– pointing to the timber arched with the coloured perspex inserts. “They can watch the footy and the cartoons. And this is where they can make rockets and (points to the cylinder with the purple paper on top) and this is where they can sleep. See these stones, they’re not really stones they’re the beds and some of them are the food 'cause they get hungry. Some animals are in this fence because they were bad and they can’t run away.”
Leo have given quite a detailed description of his creation. I asked for some more detail.
“What’s that purple part on the top of the rocket?”
“Oh, that’s the metal and the flames, rockets get very, very hot you know.”
“What are these?” I point to the coloured stones.
“They are special magic food that the animals saved so that can eat them and be magic.”
“What sort of magic?”
‘They can be invisible and they can fly faster than the rocket if they want to. ‘
“Wow, that’s incredible. I’d love to be able to fly like that!”
“Yeah me too, we need to get some magic first but I think the animals are going to the movies now. See you later Brooke!”
Leo ran off to the block area. Imagine – all of that wonderful
