We have started our investigation into how things change over time.  Students have looked at images of recent and older toys and thought about ‘What is old?’ and ‘When was the olden days?’

With students answering:

Kate: If something is rusty and dusty.

Imogen: You are getting older, your age is old.

Lexie: Wrinkles.

Olly: The Big Bang Theory and space!

Emily: Dinosaurs were around.

We’ve seen how toys have changed through time and wondered why.  We’ve looked out what materials they were made out of and how they operated. We’ve played some games like knuckles, hop scotch and rolling hoops.

We’ve wondered why our grandparents had different toys than us and how different were their lives as children.

Students laughed at Mrs Witts getting a ‘speeding’ ticket in Home Ec class for going too fast on the sewing machine!
