We began the term finding out about the children's favourite toys. Many of the children brought in a number of different toys for us to see.
It has been interesting to see some old toys and to see how toys have changed over time. A number of children brought in old toys that their parents played with when they were young.
This is an old computer game, around 35 years old, that mum played with!
Old toy soldiers belonging to dad!
An old rag doll belonging to mum!
Children were very proud to show us the toys their parents played with when they were young. Thank you parents for letting the children bring them in to show us.
PE
In PE we used the theme of toys and old games to have a go at hoop rolling which was a game that was played in Victorian times. We tried to create our own hoop rolling. Traditionally the hoop would be rolled with a stick. The children managed to roll hoops with their hands but when we introduced a stick they found it much more difficult.
Science
In Science we are looking at growing plants. We started off our science topic by becoming plant explorers. The children were asked to see what plants they could find in the school grounds. They had clip boards to keep a note of all the plants they found.
Using a house plant, the children had a look at the different parts of a plant, including the roots. We discussed what the different parts of the plant do.
The children have planted a bean each. Over the next few weeks we are going to watch them grow.
