Our Newest Unit of Inquiry – Mighty Machines



Dear Parents,
with the beginning of the new term comes the beginning of a new inquiry. This term our unit is called “Mighty Machines” and we will be exploring machines great and small. We will be examining the purpose, processes and effects of various machinery and exploring how machines help us as well as how we completed jobs before machines were invented.
As part of this unit we would like children to have the opportunity to explore the inside of real machines and would ask that if you have any old or broken household appliances that you no longer need it would be great if you could bring them to Kindergarten for us to deconstruct. Unfortunately we can’t accept TV screens, computer screens or mobile phones.
Kind Regards
Mel Bishop
