A Toy Museum in Our School

To consolidate our learning this term about Toys (Past and Present), we had a toy Museum in our hall yesterday Friday 27th May!  What an experience!  Thanks to Kat - our Museum Guide!

Setting Museum Rules

Opening Museum Room 1 - Bears


Old Bear - hard joints, has no label


New Bear - very soft and has a label




Ordering Bears (newest to oldest)



"You got the order wrong Kat!"



"Don't worry, we'll help you order the bears."



Well done 1T!










Opening Museum Room 2 - Dolls



"Oldest dolls were made of China ware like the plates we eat with at home.  They broke easily."



"New dolls are made of plastic!"







Opening Museum Room 3 - Moving Toys





Squeeze to move toy



Windup toy



Push button toy





"You need to pull up the top and push down really hard for this toy to spin!" 




Matching old to new toys




"If old version - sit down, new version - stand up."






Opening Museum Room 1 - Invention Room
Unfortunately it's empty!

"We will help by inventing more toys!"



We enjoyed our museum visit!

Parents Maths Workshop

It was Multiplication and Division Galore in Year 1 today!
The aim of the session was to give our parents and carers a clearer understanding of how their children learn to calculate and record Maths at school and some of the daily activities and resources we use in school to support this.
Have a peek into our morning.

It was fun all the way!



Thank you for attending our Maths workshop!
