Quinn  Leader Eldest  Daisy Follower Youngest  Ruby  Left Out Only Child The Roles within the Play Episode and the links with Birth Order within the Family! The Eldest- tends to be conservative, power-orientated and predispoded towards leadership.( Hjelle & Zielgar 1992) ‏ The Youngest- tends to be the mediator and are choosy in who they confide with. ( Leman, 2000) ‏ The Only Child- may find it hard to relate to other children.  ( Laybourne, A.1994) ‏ The leader of the group, who determined the roles and rules of the play . Provided some input into the game, however was happy to go along with what Quinn said. Tried to suggest some ideas into the game, however understood that her ideas were not heard, in which case she went along with what the other two  girls wanted. Blue- Research Red- Assumptions made from observation

Environment and Wildlife Chosen as Main Theme of Play  Exosystem  (Bronfenbrenner, 1992) Media: Steve and Bindi Irwin- Australia Zoo David Attenborough on television during prime time on channel 10 rather than ABC. Celebrities supporting causes; “ Celebrity interest forces green issues into the mainstream. When some bearded boffin bangs on about global warming, it’s boring. When Leonardo DiCaprio does the same, it’s sexy.” (Brown, J. 2007) “ An Inconvenient Truth”- movie News
Environment and Wildlife Chosen  as Main Theme of Play Mesosystem (Bronfenbrenner, 1992) School: Is taught more in school and embedded within the curriculum. Access to the internet- information more readily available.
The physical environment can influence and modify the nature of dramatic play. (Darvill, 1982) Under the fort- climbing. Near the tree- in the jungle.
“ Used whole bodies and imagination, usage of whole body, interaction with nature, engaged in physical activities, ideas are connected to nature.” (Hyvonnen & Kansas, 2007) Daisy; “I want to know what it feels like to be an animal because animals are different to people.”
Two of the children are from Anglo-saxion background, whilst the third child, ruby is part Sri Lankan; her mother was born in Sri- Lanka. Ruby comes from a house where ghosts, spirits, magic and past lives are part of everyday life. In contrast we discovered that magic is banned at Quinn's house . (this may/may not affect the theme of the play)  Do these different cultural values affect/influence the play?
The children in our group were all females. Research has found that girls structure ordered stories around social relationships frequently family ones depicting routines of family life. “ can I be your sister?” Even animals inhabit a stable world marked by order and family. “ time for bed” Research suggests that parents encouraged daughters to participate in sex- typed activities including doll playing& engaging in housekeeping activities for girls,(Eccles,Jacobs & Harold 1990). We saw this in our observation as the group had a mother and  a sister as important roles.
