Dear Edgerley Families and
Friends,
This week the Edgerley children
have been exploring a variety of machines in our School community. On Tuesday
the children visited the big year 8 boys at EduKart which is a unique Year 8 hands-on, made for
boys program, which connects curriculum to a real life context through the
building, testing and racing of an electric powered go-kart.
“I liked seeing they have batteries and a motor”
Oliver shared.
“There was electricity in them” Andrei explained.
“I liked tooting the horn” David said.
“I liked seeing the wheels turn” Oscar shared.
On Friday the children visited
the maintenance workshop. They enjoyed watching machines in action, and were
particularly interested in the grinder.
“I saw the grinder and it twisted
round and round and it spins faster and faster” Regan explained
“I learnt that you can’t touch
the fire from the grinder ‘coz it’s really hot” warned Johnny.
“I had to put my ear plugs in my
ear because there was so much noise” Ollie said.
“I loved the drill, it drills
holes and rollie stuff came out” Varish described.
Enjoy your weekend!
Emma, Emma and Ty
