The Learning Environment - Playing with sand and water

Adult:

How do you do that, then?

Child 1:

Well you hold there and tip it over.

Adult:

Like that?

Child 1:

No, not like that. Like this, no, like this.

Adult:

Oh, like that?

Child 1:

Yeah.

Adult:

Like this. Gosh, this is heavy. You feel it. Do you think that's light or heavy?

Child 1:

Well heavy.

Adult:

Is it really heavy? Shall I turn it over? Shall I put it down there?

Child 1:

Yeah.

Child 2:

I'm going to put water there.

Adult:

Are you?

Child 1:

You pat it down, I can't do it.

Adult:

Right then, I've patted it down, I'm gonna move now so you can do it. What do you need to do now?

Child 2:

I'm going to pour water.

Adult:

Well, wait a minute then, let's put, let's lift the castle out then.

Adult:

Ah, oh! Look at all the water. Ah, oh dear, and it's not really in the way either, is it? Oh, what shall we do now? Oh, mix it around.
