Cooper Room


The Cooper children have begun investigating our new unit 'Mighty Machines' with great interest. They have been building machines with straw connectors and lego, reading books about machines and discussing as a class all the machines we know and how they help us. In our office play area the children have also looked at machinery catalogues with fascination...
"What's it called?" asked Finn.
"It's a tractor" answered Felix, "Wow, cool!"
"I like these ones" said Owen.
We are hoping to have many parents demonstrate machinery big and small this term as we continue our investigations - we already have one mum coming to show us how a pasta machine works - and look forward to finding out about other machines that can make life easier!
Kind regards,
Ali, Rachel and Renee
