BS: Do you think you can actually separate the science from the story?
CW Yeah, because, well - yes and no, I mean it, that, the introduction,
where I'm giving out the puppets that's when I, that's when I give them the
knowledge - that they'll - in the story, I, I don't want to, I don't want
to be telling them, really, in the middle of the story, what - cause it's
almost like, I tell them the information at the beginning so that they, so
they know what the animals do and then in the story, they're enjoying it as
a story. And it's not like, "oh I didn't realise snails did that. I must remember
that snails do that." You know. They, hopefully they've, they've picked up
the first time. So, it's, it's difficult. Sometimes you do get a bit bogged
down in the middle of the story and you suddenly, you know, almost like got
this teaching point that you've got to make sure you cover very well and -
and you can get bogged down in it and lose, lose the story. So it's, it's
quite an art. I think they're the hardest thing to present really cause you've
also got all your technical equipment and getting your shadow scenery working
and changing scenery over and putting slides up and, telling the story, you
know, but, it's good.
