CHILD 1: First we need to find the centre of the page.
CHILD 2: And we just put a dot in the middle, right? Then we do a circle.
CHILD 1: And we want to draw a line through the centre of the circle, the point, and put it in the bottom centre. Just create some nice…
CHILD 2: Xs
CHILD 1: Yeah. We draw the line, through the centre.
CHILD 2: I've done that now.
CHILD 1: And we're gonna create a large D shape. Now complete the D, and the reflection D with a line. Then we're going to create two circles. It has to be in line with the two circles.
CHILD 2: Yeah.
CHILD 1: And one large semi-circle which is going to keep in contact… with the two circles which we made in the Ds.
CHILD 2: At this point, I think you just put down the dots, right? So one goes to the top, and then we've got the right, and then I think on the semi-circle, yep. Right, yes, so the top goes to the bottom first.
CHILD 1: Yep. Each point.
CHILD 2: And then you line up these two. The star.
CHILD 1: We have stars, people. We have stars.
CHILD 2: And then you can just cut them out.
CHILD 1: We can cut them out!
CHILD 2: Oh, don't play around with scissors, it's dangerous.
CHILD 1: We've finished our stars, great.
CHILD 2: It was really cool. It was actually surprisingly really fun to do.
CHILD 1: Great, high five!
CHILD 2: High five!
CHILD 1: Yeah, we did it!
