0:00:10.705 --> 0:00:13.425
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Amma Mia podcast.

0:00:13.945 --> 0:00:17.465
<v Speaker 2>Mama Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

0:00:17.505 --> 0:00:25.985
<v Speaker 2>that this podcast is recorded on Hello to all our

0:00:26.065 --> 0:00:28.745
<v Speaker 2>little builders and their grown ups. Welcome to how to

0:00:28.745 --> 0:00:32.105
<v Speaker 2>Build a Universe where stories build worlds. I'm Jen Muir,

0:00:32.185 --> 0:00:34.505
<v Speaker 2>I'm a parent educator, mum to four, and my co

0:00:34.545 --> 0:00:37.665
<v Speaker 2>host is Tomline, creative producer at Mama Maya, or as

0:00:37.705 --> 0:00:40.145
<v Speaker 2>we like to call him, Chief of Fuck.

0:00:41.345 --> 0:00:41.985
<v Speaker 3>Hello.

0:00:42.785 --> 0:00:48.145
<v Speaker 1>Can anybody hear me? Captain Tom requesting permission to land? Huh,

0:00:48.585 --> 0:00:49.585
<v Speaker 1>I've found the studio.

0:00:50.225 --> 0:00:55.025
<v Speaker 3>Hello, Chen, You wouldn't believe how many exciting destinations I've

0:00:55.185 --> 0:00:58.465
<v Speaker 3>just had to search through to get back here. Today's

0:00:58.465 --> 0:01:02.345
<v Speaker 3>story has trains, planes, cranes, and did.

0:01:02.185 --> 0:01:03.345
<v Speaker 1>I say trains? Yeah?

0:01:03.425 --> 0:01:03.865
<v Speaker 2>You did?

0:01:03.985 --> 0:01:07.905
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I've been everywhere man, all over the world, and

0:01:08.025 --> 0:01:12.625
<v Speaker 3>it's lucky our little builders listening have the biggest imaginations.

0:01:12.705 --> 0:01:16.825
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm talking about you. For what it is worth.

0:01:17.025 --> 0:01:20.065
<v Speaker 2>Permission to land granted, adventure.

0:01:19.625 --> 0:01:20.905
<v Speaker 1>Captain Top. Thank you.

0:01:21.065 --> 0:01:23.785
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait for today's adventure, and I think it's

0:01:23.825 --> 0:01:26.345
<v Speaker 2>a perfect theme to help our kids start to develop

0:01:26.385 --> 0:01:31.585
<v Speaker 2>some skills in independent play. While we are now having

0:01:31.665 --> 0:01:34.225
<v Speaker 2>a ball playing with the kids is really good for

0:01:34.305 --> 0:01:37.425
<v Speaker 2>kids to start to play independently as well. Good for

0:01:37.545 --> 0:01:40.785
<v Speaker 2>kids and good for parents. Let's be honest, as parents,

0:01:40.825 --> 0:01:43.665
<v Speaker 2>we also have stuff to do. It's unrealistic for parents

0:01:43.705 --> 0:01:46.665
<v Speaker 2>to be able to play twenty four to seven. And

0:01:46.745 --> 0:01:50.305
<v Speaker 2>the good news is there are huge benefits to independent play.

0:01:50.425 --> 0:01:53.665
<v Speaker 2>It's when kids play independently that the get really into

0:01:53.705 --> 0:01:58.705
<v Speaker 2>that beautiful flow state, child led and really creative. This

0:01:58.945 --> 0:02:02.505
<v Speaker 2>play is vital for development. In today's play, we are

0:02:02.545 --> 0:02:04.705
<v Speaker 2>going to play with the kids, but when the audio

0:02:04.745 --> 0:02:07.225
<v Speaker 2>wraps up, we will be encouraging the kids to head

0:02:07.225 --> 0:02:10.505
<v Speaker 2>off with their very own adventure. It is going to

0:02:10.585 --> 0:02:11.305
<v Speaker 2>be awesome.

0:02:12.025 --> 0:02:17.305
<v Speaker 3>Yes, O, yes, now adventure pants on Imagination activated.

0:02:17.625 --> 0:02:25.185
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. I'll see you after this. Hello, my little friend.

0:02:25.985 --> 0:02:28.505
<v Speaker 3>Today I'll be using a map to get us started

0:02:28.545 --> 0:02:31.505
<v Speaker 3>for the adventure. It's quite dusty, so I'm just going

0:02:31.585 --> 0:02:32.145
<v Speaker 3>to blow.

0:02:31.945 --> 0:02:41.065
<v Speaker 1>Off some of the dust. I've swallowed the map. I've

0:02:41.185 --> 0:02:44.745
<v Speaker 1>swallowed the bapo M.

0:02:45.345 --> 0:02:48.305
<v Speaker 3>We clearly can't use that map now, but not to worry,

0:02:48.545 --> 0:02:51.345
<v Speaker 3>because all we need today is your imagination.

0:02:52.105 --> 0:02:56.945
<v Speaker 1>Adventurer waits. Today we're going to collect a shimmering pearl

0:02:57.065 --> 0:02:57.705
<v Speaker 1>from Broom.

0:02:58.585 --> 0:03:03.425
<v Speaker 3>Some magic sand from Fiji and a lava rock from.

0:03:03.185 --> 0:03:05.065
<v Speaker 1>The middle of the Earth, which is.

0:03:05.065 --> 0:03:07.985
<v Speaker 3>About eight thousand degrees down there. But don't worry, I've

0:03:07.985 --> 0:03:11.145
<v Speaker 3>packed a fan. We will try in three different ways.

0:03:11.985 --> 0:03:15.465
<v Speaker 3>Each treasure we pick up will give your imaginary playworld

0:03:15.505 --> 0:03:16.705
<v Speaker 3>a special power.

0:03:17.985 --> 0:03:18.705
<v Speaker 1>So let's go.

0:03:21.505 --> 0:03:24.665
<v Speaker 3>Firstly, we need to think of a mode of transport

0:03:24.945 --> 0:03:29.665
<v Speaker 3>that floats up into the air. H What goes into

0:03:29.705 --> 0:03:30.185
<v Speaker 3>the sky?

0:03:31.025 --> 0:03:31.825
<v Speaker 1>A kite?

0:03:32.105 --> 0:03:36.065
<v Speaker 3>Yes, they fly, But we need something that floats into

0:03:36.105 --> 0:03:40.225
<v Speaker 3>the air that people can ride on too. What about

0:03:40.225 --> 0:03:43.305
<v Speaker 3>a balloon? You know those helium balloons that you see

0:03:43.305 --> 0:03:47.065
<v Speaker 3>at birthday parties. The helium makes them float up into

0:03:47.105 --> 0:03:50.465
<v Speaker 3>the sky. But would that be strong enough to carry

0:03:50.545 --> 0:03:54.065
<v Speaker 3>humans as well? Maybe you, but I'd.

0:03:53.905 --> 0:03:57.545
<v Speaker 1>Be a bit too heavy. Oh.

0:03:57.585 --> 0:04:01.345
<v Speaker 3>I know a hot air balloon, which is like a

0:04:01.385 --> 0:04:04.065
<v Speaker 3>party balloon, but a lot bigger.

0:04:04.705 --> 0:04:08.185
<v Speaker 1>They use burners to make the hot air, which helps

0:04:08.225 --> 0:04:11.065
<v Speaker 1>the balloon float up. Oh, and the.

0:04:11.025 --> 0:04:15.145
<v Speaker 3>Passengers are carried in a basket under the balloon. And

0:04:15.225 --> 0:04:17.225
<v Speaker 3>guess what, there's one right in front of us now,

0:04:17.265 --> 0:04:18.265
<v Speaker 3>So let's hop in.

0:04:20.065 --> 0:04:22.185
<v Speaker 1>Take a big step forwards.

0:04:23.505 --> 0:04:27.425
<v Speaker 3>That's it, right, We're in the basket ready to go,

0:04:28.385 --> 0:04:32.945
<v Speaker 3>and we are floating up and away. This hot air

0:04:32.985 --> 0:04:39.425
<v Speaker 3>balloon is moving nice and cruisy. We are heading to Broom,

0:04:39.945 --> 0:04:42.065
<v Speaker 3>where the warm ocean sparkles.

0:04:42.865 --> 0:04:43.625
<v Speaker 1>Fun fact.

0:04:44.265 --> 0:04:48.745
<v Speaker 3>Broom is near the top of Australia in Western Australia.

0:04:49.665 --> 0:04:53.585
<v Speaker 3>Look down, the forests of trees on the ground look

0:04:53.705 --> 0:04:55.785
<v Speaker 3>like little pieces of broccoli.

0:04:57.065 --> 0:04:58.625
<v Speaker 1>Oh hello, Broom.

0:04:59.025 --> 0:05:02.545
<v Speaker 3>We've arrived and our first item to pick up is

0:05:02.585 --> 0:05:07.825
<v Speaker 3>a shimmering pearl hiding in a shell. Broom is famous

0:05:08.065 --> 0:05:12.705
<v Speaker 3>for her pearls, and they're very pretty. Indeed, some people

0:05:12.905 --> 0:05:16.825
<v Speaker 3>like to wear them as jewelry. But this one has

0:05:16.865 --> 0:05:21.705
<v Speaker 3>a special power just for you in your magical world.

0:05:22.225 --> 0:05:25.025
<v Speaker 3>You can use it to light up dark places to

0:05:25.145 --> 0:05:29.145
<v Speaker 3>help you find your way through anywhere. This pearl is

0:05:29.185 --> 0:05:31.185
<v Speaker 3>sitting right on the sand in front of you. So

0:05:31.265 --> 0:05:35.065
<v Speaker 3>let's lean down and pick up our pearl. We're going

0:05:35.105 --> 0:05:38.305
<v Speaker 3>to put it in your adventure bag. Leaning down, pick

0:05:38.345 --> 0:05:40.345
<v Speaker 3>it up with your hand.

0:05:40.505 --> 0:05:40.945
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:05:42.265 --> 0:05:45.865
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's our first treasure. We've got two more to go.

0:05:45.985 --> 0:05:49.585
<v Speaker 3>We've been up high. Now we're going to go somewhere fast.

0:05:50.345 --> 0:05:55.185
<v Speaker 3>We're off to Fiji on a super speedy jet plane.

0:05:56.465 --> 0:06:00.265
<v Speaker 3>Right the plane's getting ready to take off. We're getting faster.

0:06:00.385 --> 0:06:09.105
<v Speaker 3>On the right way, Here we go. Oh, we're going

0:06:09.185 --> 0:06:12.385
<v Speaker 3>so far that my back is pinned to the chair.

0:06:13.145 --> 0:06:16.105
<v Speaker 3>The ground is going by so fast our shadow can't

0:06:16.185 --> 0:06:16.665
<v Speaker 3>keep up.

0:06:17.505 --> 0:06:24.505
<v Speaker 1>Wave Hello to that eagle over there, Mad, we've landed wool.

0:06:25.545 --> 0:06:29.665
<v Speaker 1>That was quick because we are in Fiji. Did you know?

0:06:29.865 --> 0:06:34.065
<v Speaker 3>Fiji is a country in the South Pacific Ocean, just

0:06:34.145 --> 0:06:38.705
<v Speaker 3>to the right of Australia and above New Zealand. Can

0:06:38.745 --> 0:06:42.465
<v Speaker 3>you fill that squeaky sand between your toes? Now? This

0:06:42.705 --> 0:06:47.865
<v Speaker 3>Fiji sand is very special, indeed, because the grains sparkle

0:06:48.545 --> 0:06:52.985
<v Speaker 3>like tiny stars. Put your hands out like you're scooping

0:06:53.065 --> 0:06:56.705
<v Speaker 3>up handfuls of sand from the sandpit, just like the

0:06:56.745 --> 0:06:59.945
<v Speaker 3>sandpit at kindy or when you've gone to the beach.

0:07:01.265 --> 0:07:06.385
<v Speaker 3>This magic sand gives you the power of speed. So

0:07:06.705 --> 0:07:10.505
<v Speaker 3>whenever you need to zoom, zoom zoom, just sprinkle it

0:07:10.545 --> 0:07:14.225
<v Speaker 3>on your shoes and you'll be up mountains and whizzing

0:07:14.265 --> 0:07:19.545
<v Speaker 3>across the sea. We're nearly at the finish line, so

0:07:19.745 --> 0:07:24.305
<v Speaker 3>we have our shimmering pearl, our magic sand. But what

0:07:24.385 --> 0:07:27.625
<v Speaker 3>if we could go somewhere no one's ever been before.

0:07:28.825 --> 0:07:29.865
<v Speaker 1>Well, our third.

0:07:29.665 --> 0:07:33.265
<v Speaker 3>Stop is a train to the center of the Earth

0:07:33.705 --> 0:07:39.785
<v Speaker 3>to collect some glowing lava rocks. We're going down, down, down,

0:07:40.625 --> 0:07:43.025
<v Speaker 3>just like a drill. This train is going to whip

0:07:43.105 --> 0:07:47.025
<v Speaker 3>through tunnels, twisting round and round and round as we

0:07:47.065 --> 0:07:50.185
<v Speaker 3>go through each layer of planet Earth to get to

0:07:50.225 --> 0:07:56.665
<v Speaker 3>the center. Climb aboard our twisty super bullet underground train.

0:08:03.705 --> 0:08:06.945
<v Speaker 3>It's getting warmer and brighter as we get closer to

0:08:07.065 --> 0:08:11.825
<v Speaker 3>the center of the Earth. In fact, the Earth's core

0:08:12.025 --> 0:08:16.585
<v Speaker 3>is very hot and mainly made of metal. It's a sphere,

0:08:16.665 --> 0:08:22.265
<v Speaker 3>which means a circle shape, and we are here.

0:08:23.505 --> 0:08:25.465
<v Speaker 1>Don't bind the lava near the train. Let me just

0:08:25.545 --> 0:08:29.505
<v Speaker 1>test it with my finger. It's hot. It's hot, it's hot.

0:08:29.945 --> 0:08:34.025
<v Speaker 3>Didn't need that pinky finger anyway. Look at all the

0:08:34.225 --> 0:08:40.145
<v Speaker 3>glowing lava rocks, red, orange, even purple.

0:08:41.105 --> 0:08:43.265
<v Speaker 1>This glowing lava rock will.

0:08:43.105 --> 0:08:47.025
<v Speaker 3>Give you the power to transform into anything you want,

0:08:47.705 --> 0:08:57.425
<v Speaker 3>a unicorn or maybe a lion, or transform into a transformerrunk.

0:09:00.625 --> 0:09:04.025
<v Speaker 3>Now it's time to head back. Shall we send this

0:09:04.145 --> 0:09:13.625
<v Speaker 3>train in reverse? Look at everything we've collected. Each treasure

0:09:13.665 --> 0:09:17.385
<v Speaker 3>adds something special to your magical world that you can

0:09:17.505 --> 0:09:21.225
<v Speaker 3>visit any time you like, just by closing your eyes

0:09:21.265 --> 0:09:26.025
<v Speaker 3>and imagining. And the best part, it's always growing because

0:09:26.105 --> 0:09:30.585
<v Speaker 3>you can add new treasures or new adventures anytime you want.

0:09:31.505 --> 0:09:34.785
<v Speaker 3>Where would you like to go next to the top

0:09:34.825 --> 0:09:38.585
<v Speaker 3>of an ice cream mountain or a rainbow planet in

0:09:38.665 --> 0:09:43.665
<v Speaker 3>space where everything bounces. If you can imagine it, you

0:09:43.745 --> 0:09:46.225
<v Speaker 3>can play with it until next time.

0:09:47.985 --> 0:09:51.465
<v Speaker 1>Would you look at that, Jen? You know what's amazing.

0:09:51.985 --> 0:09:55.585
<v Speaker 3>We didn't need to pack any special equipment or get

0:09:55.585 --> 0:10:00.305
<v Speaker 3>any fancy tickets. All these incredible adventures came straight from

0:10:00.345 --> 0:10:04.865
<v Speaker 3>our explorer zone magnificent minds, because when kids get the

0:10:04.945 --> 0:10:09.065
<v Speaker 3>chance to dream up their own adventures, that's really when

0:10:09.105 --> 0:10:10.745
<v Speaker 3>the special stuff begins.

0:10:11.505 --> 0:10:14.425
<v Speaker 2>And I think I know where I might go next.

0:10:14.665 --> 0:10:19.225
<v Speaker 2>Maybe a pool side villa somewhere in the Mediterranean. I

0:10:19.265 --> 0:10:23.025
<v Speaker 2>can picture it now. I'll have a double espresso martini.

0:10:23.105 --> 0:10:25.985
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, On Carlos, I'll be over there on my laune.

0:10:26.025 --> 0:10:26.265
<v Speaker 3>Joane.

0:10:27.145 --> 0:10:31.745
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, let's get back on. We need to get back

0:10:31.785 --> 0:10:32.145
<v Speaker 1>on track.

0:10:32.185 --> 0:10:36.905
<v Speaker 2>Here, focus, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to wrap. Okay, I'm sorry. Tom.

0:10:36.985 --> 0:10:42.105

0:10:41.745 --> 0:10:45.265
<v Speaker 3>And your imagination is always ready for an adventure.

0:10:45.665 --> 0:10:48.105
