Chapple Room


Dear Parents and Friends,
Welcome to Term 2! It’s been a wonderful start to the term. We’ve had some great discussions about ANZAC Day and the meaning of ‘machines’. As we have tried to define what a machine is, we’ve had lots of debates and interesting ideas being shared with the group.
What is a machine?
Gabriel ‘A machine is like a robot.’
Grace ‘A machine goes around. A cement mixer is  a machine.’
Seth ‘You press a button and it goes around like a rectangle.’
Grace ‘You put something in it and something happens and it turns something around and then it makes something.’
Zac F ‘A plane is a machine because it has wheels and it lands and it carries people somewhere.’
Charlie ‘A machine is something and you have to do it yourself.’
