This afternoon, Year 1 started their new history unit, ‘How have toys changed?’ To start off their learning, they brought their favourite toys into school to show their friends. They thought about what materials their toy is made from, how it feels and looks, how it is played with and what features it has. We had a super variety of toys. Most of the toys we described as being made from plastic or fur, being played with by dressing them up, brushing their hair, cuddling them, driving them, building with them, play fighting or role playing with them and as having features such as buttons, wheels, eyes, legs, arms, mouths and tails. We are looking forward to comparing these modern day toys with toys from the past.
