Four children are in the sandpit with one educator: Sam (2.7 years) is holding the hose. Aria (3.8 years) is on the digger. Ben(3.5years) and Jack(4.8years) are both using spades and working in the same area digging a ditch(river) Ben leans on his shovel and says, 'We need lots of water for a river'. Jack says, 'I'll get the hose', he reaches over and pulls the hose. 'Let it go, Sam!' he yells. 'I need the hose.' 'No! My hose!' yells Sam. Jack continues to pull the hose and as it is pulled from Sam's hands it arcs around towards Aria. Aria jumps off the digger saying 'Don't Sam! I'm wet now!' Jack then yells 'Sam, look what you've done! You're an idiot!' Sam begins to cry.
