We
have been very busy this week preparing some special gifts for our Mum’s in
preparation for our upcoming Princesses Tea Party – stay tuned for further
details! We have also begun our investigations into Mighty Machines, our unit
of inquiry for this term. We have been examining the diggers and trucks in the
inside sand tray and talking about the jobs that they do that we wouldn’t be
able to do without them.
“Dig,
dig” said Alec,
“It’s
a truck, for dig, dig, dig” said Jackson,
“A
digger, a digger truck” observed Sabian,
“That
digger digs the road and the roller rolls the road so the cars can go along it”
commented Hugo M,
“Pick
up the rocks with your hands” said Angus,
“What
if the rocks are too big for you to pick up with your hands?” asked the
teacher,
“you
use a digger” suggested Angus as Hugo demonstrated with his toy truck and rock.
If
anyone is a keen chef or handy around the house or has any mini (or mighty!)
machines that they would like to come and show the children, please let us
know. We’d be delighted to welcome you into our classroom!
Best
wishes,
Jess,
Kerry, Pippa and Amy
