This bank holiday clay modelling session evolved from a thumb-pot, to a dog’s bowl, to a tortoise with a bowl on its back, to a giant tortoise carrying a person on its back!

SHAGGY AND SCOOBY DOO
It’s Scooby Doo and that’s his best friend, Shaggy. I couldn’t remember what colour top Shaggy has, so I coloured it black.
Age 5

Storytelling Man
March 19, 2013
D: We had a new man come into our class today. He was the story man – he read us stories.
Me: Did he? Who was that then? Was it someone’s dad?
D: I can’t remember his name. I don’t know if it was someone’s dad.
Me: Was it good?
D: Yes!
Me: Did he just read stories to your class?
D: No, he read to the whole school.
Me: In the hall?
D: No, he went to all the classrooms.
Me: Wow, that must have taken him a long time. Did he read the same stories to all the classes?
D: I don’t know… Yes! He did, because he said in another class he asked what you should do with babies and a boy said, “Put them in the bin!” And he said, “That’s wrong isn’t it? You don’t put babies in the bin!”
Me: That’s true. What did you say?
D: I didn’t say anything, he didn’t choose me. It was really funny when he said “LOOK! There’s something wrong with my fingers: Open! [D closes fingers] Close! [D opens fingers] Open! [D closes fingers] Close! [D opens fingers] Open! [D closes fingers] Close! [D opens fingers] That’s funny isn’t it?
Me: Yes, they’re doing the opposite of what you’re saying.
Me: He talked to me at the end when we had snack time – I said “You’re funny!” and he said “Thank you. You’re funny too.” Then I said “Thank you. you’re funny!” Then he said “You’re funny!” And I said “You’re funny!” Then “You’re funny!” And “You’re funny!” And I left to go out for break time before he could say anything. Then he walked past me later in the playground and said “You’re funny!”
Me: Is he going to come in every week?
D: Not EVERY week, no. Just sometimes.

Population explosion
September 25, 2012
D: How was the first person born if there was no-one to be born from?
Me: Well… What do you think?
D: I don’t know.
Me: Some people believe that God made two people – a man called Adam and a woman called Eve, and other people believe that there was a big explosion in the universe and all the little bits of life that came from it helped to create the first people.
D: Oh. I think it was the big bomb that exploded and made people. I’ll tell God when I see him that I think that. Is God in heaven?
Me: Some people think that God’s all around.
D: He IS NOT all around! – I never see him.
To be continued…
Look where you’re going!

Man and machine
September 4, 2012
Me: Hurry up and brush your teeth!
D: I’ve got an idea that’s going to make it quicker; I’m building a machine! This is my machine:
You hold a cup under the tap and it catches the water. Then you dip your toothbrush in the cup, and then you clean your teeth – superfast! It’s called ‘SpeedyTeeth’. [Brushes teeth]
…How quick was that? Was it just in one minute?
Me: Yes.
D: Now I’m going to build a machine for getting dressed quickly. You might remember this machine… [Lays his clothes and shoes out in the shape of a person.]
Do you remember it?
Me: Yes.
D: Yeah – you know this machine – it’s called ‘Invisible Man Dress that Comes Alive and Gets Dressed’ – it makes me get dressed quicker [climbs into clothes].
Top…Trousers… Oh man – I forgot my pants and socks in the machine!
