The train's approach is heralded by a rhythmic and gradually intensifying percussion of clanging rails.

The crescendo of the locomotive's horn, commands attention and announces its presence.
Probably, the passengers on the train will reach a magical forest. The children on the train eagerly disembarked, and the classroom was transformed into a lush forest with oversized paper trees. The children explored this enchanted forest, dancing like fairies, butterflies, and woodland creatures. They used their imaginations to create their own stories within the forest.
As an educator, encouraging imaginative play for kids wherever possible is significant. Allowing children to play, explore, and imagine, helps them with many aspects of development.

When I went to the park, I thought I was lost in the beautiful forest. I can picture a serene forest, sunlight filtering through the leaves, and birds darting between the branches. It's like a mental painting of nature. A gentle, refreshing breeze is in the air, and I can feel it against my skin. It's cool and refreshing, making me feel more alive and connected to the environment, the place, the land. When we respectfully listening opens the door to reimagining this space, prompting us to ponder how Kulin wisdom enhances our capacity to engage with the land from a unique perspective. (Hamm, 2015).
I heard the rustling of leaves in the wind, and the chirping of birds, – it all forms a symphony that's both soothing and invigorating. It makes me feel like I'm part of the natural world.
I believe that when we are carefully setting up the classroom environment, we can assist children in learning and respecting nature and different cultures.

Let's imagine a peaceful screen, dappled sunlight, and the graceful movements of birds.
The pitch of a bird's voice can vary greatly, from high-pitched warbles to deep, resonant cries. I can imagine that there were 2 birds, one was a cheerful and friendly bird known for its melodious song. The other was a clever and talkative bird. The clever bird said "Good morning, friend! I heard the sweetest melody today from the tree. It was so soothing." The friendly bird responded, "Thank you, Why don't we sing together?" Then 2 birds glide, swoop, and fly with beautiful motions. Their aerial performances appeal to the senses of sight and motion like an orchestrated dance. Birds are not just auditory artists; they are also performers in the realm of movement and dance. Their bird songs, like high-pitched flutes, harmonize with the rustling leaves, creating a joyful and natural.

This reminds me of the educator in my service where I am working, she fed the bird and the children were so excited watching her, which is "The natural environment is an ideal place for children to engage in creative play, as nature has a lot to offer in terms of play potential." (Wilson, 2018).

The tree is blooming, and the air is filled with a symphony of sounds. The rustling leaves provide a rhythmic backdrop, akin to the soft percussion of a gentle drumbeat. As the wind sways through the branches, it's as if the tree itself is singing, with each rustle composing a unique and soothing melody. Or the tree is talking to 2 birds above about that visit and live in its branches.

I feel like the changing seasons are the life circle in this ongoing "drama" of the tree, with the tree taking on different roles throughout the year – the bare winter actor, the budding springtime star, the lush summer lead, and the fiery autumn performer.
According to Roy et al (2015) note that the arts are fundamentally means of expression and communication and by their nature they are also intensely personal", therefore, when children are encouraged to express themselves through the arts, they gain confidence in their abilities and ideas. A respectful environment nurtures this confidence, helping them believe in the value of their unique perspectives.
