How toys have changed over time

In the next five weeks the children will be making inquiries into how toys have changed over time. These inquiries will be driven by the following teachers questions:

1. What is your favourite toy?

2. How do different toys move?
3. How are toys made?
4. What are the similarities/differences between toys?
5. Are toys different from how they were in the past?

 

In 1A we looked at the video below and it stimulated lots of questions that the children want to find out the answers to.
