What is Imagination?

From our initial explorations into change and observing the children the prep team decided  our big inquiry question would be: How can we change our world with our imagination?
On Friday in workshops we posed the question: What is imagination?
The children came up with some fantastic response:

What you think and what you want to happen - Otto

When you think something is happening, but it's not - Matilda R

It's like a dream, but you are not asleep. You think about something, but it's not really there - Harriet

When you see something and you think about how it could happen in your head, but it doesn't happen in real life - Angus

 

After our initial discussion we read the book, A Few Blocks by Cybele Young.

The children then had the opportunity to change a black blob using their imagination. Here are a few example of how the children changed the black blob using their imagination. More can been seen in art studio.
