Toys

On Friday, we conducted a short historical enquiry based on the question 'Have toys changed over time?'. The children brought in their modern day toys and explored these. We thought about how they felt, what material they were made from and how they were used. We then compared these to a variety of toys from the past. The children were very interested to learn most toys, in the past, were made from wood or metal but nowadays, most toys are made from plastic.

After reading 'The Gingerbread Man', Year 1 decided they wanted to help the Gingerbread Man cross the river. Using our knowledge surrounding materials, we knew we had to make him waterproof. The children conducted an investigation to find out which materials were waterproof and which were not. As a class, we concluded which materials the Gingerbread Man should wear across the river.
