Children’s Research

Child A2 was leading the play, saying ‘lets catch a fish’ or ‘lets get a jellyfish’. There were cheers each time the group caught the animal mentioned. They made it into a game where they allocated points.They asked to go and see the chickens as this was the next part of the game. They asked the gardener where one of the chickens had gone.

Child C approached the gardener and asked to have a turn using the hose. He smiled as he watered the plants (and the gardener!). They joked with the gardener, by playing with the flow of water a couple of times. Both he and the gardener laughed at this. Child C then took over the hose again and after a short while, he laid down the hose and said, “It’s your turn.”

A couple of acorns fell from the tree onto the path. Child F said in a surprised voice, “Oh! What was that!”
The gardener and another child came by and added acorns to the wheelbarrow and then picked some others from the floor and handed them to Child F for him to place in the wheelbarrow.
