In history, Year 1 have been exploring toys from the past. Today, we got the opportunity to explore how toys have changed over the last 100 years. We discovered that all toys used to be made from wood, fabric and metal such as trains, dolls and board games before brightly coloured plastic toys became popular such as frisbees and Lego. We then learnt that plastic toys continued to be played with, electronics were made and became popular such as gameboys and battery controlled cars as well as toys that featured on our televisions such as Care Bears and My Little Pony. We know that this was around the time that our mummies and daddies were children. We then looked at the toys that we play with today such as figures and understood that they have become popular through being on our televisions and in storybooks. We also noticed how electronics have become more advanced as we now have app-based games. Super learning Year 1!
