Exploring the medical world

Our morning children have been showing a real interest in exploring the roles of surgeons and anaesthetists in our new room since it was ready to play in at the start of the term .
Yesterday we added large photos of Maddie's sister Alana going through the process of having a knee injury explored through X-ray, an MRI scan and then surgery . Tash ( Maddie's Mum) was very aware of the interest our children had been showing , so very thoughtfully gathered the photos of this real experience that Alana was going through to add complexity to the play. 
What an awesome provocation ! The children posed questions and transfered their own experiences to   the one that Alana had been through . The photos were continually revisited as children carefully fine tuned their roles , striving for accuracy,  trying to ensure they were offering the very best of care to their patients . 
A cardboard box was the ideal " oxygen tank" that had " lollipops from the chemist shop " sucked through the tube to the patient. The heat pump above the children acted as the machine that ensured the oxygen was freely flowing . This is very creative ,he tino auaha tÄ“nei
What innovative and creative ideas ! 
We wonder what will follow tomorrow? What do you think?, he aha o whakaro?
