What great excitement in Prep today. The digger, or backhoe, arrived this afternoon and the Preps were right there to see it. We were so exited when we heard the great clatter outside as the digger came rumbling in on its rolling tracks. We wasted no time in going out to see what was happening.
Conner used great observation skills to notice that one track remained still, while the other rolled round to make the digger turn.
It was fun to see the digger scraping up the dirt, a little sad to see it take away the sides of our sandpit, and ever so exciting when it knocked down the bottlebrush trees just outside our building! We could smell the trees as they were being squashed by the digger. We then went back into the classroom and had such an excited conversation about what we had seen. We learned so many new words from each other to describe the sights, smells and sounds that we had just experienced.
Keep your eye on this spot as we share with you our excitement at the building of our new school.
