Welcome back to Term Two, our final term before we graduate
to big school!! (it has come around so fast!!) We have begun the term diving
right into our newest unit of inquiry “Mighty Machines”. We started by
deconstructing some common household appliances to see what is inside a machine
and explore how it’s components work. We loved using all the different tools,
even though some components gave up more easily than others!!!
Following our deconstruction we decided to concentrate on
reconstruction in the outdoor sandpit and began using tools to construct houses
for Mrs Bishop and Miss Kasauskas. When we went inside Mrs Rocca shared a book
with us to show us all the different types of machines that are used on a work
site and how to keep ourselves safe. We will add scaffolding to our work site
next week.
If you have any old broken house hold appliances that we
could deconstruct with tools in our classroom please feel free to bring them
in.
Kind regards
Mel, Pip, Amelia and Coney
