In History, Year One are learning about Toys in the Past. They brought their siblings’, parents’ and grandparents’ toys into school and built up an extensive and varied collection. They wrote about their special toys; whose toys they are, what they look and feel like, what they are made from and what makes them special. Here is what they wrote:
‘This is a very special monkey because it is a magic monkey. It is faded. It is 20 years old.’ Harrison
‘This is my Mummy’s old teddy. Its ear is broken. It is threadbare. It is made from wool and its eyes are orange and red.’ Sophia
‘This is my Mum’s cabbage patch doll and she has orange hair and she is made from fabric. She is 40 years old and she is dirty and dull and she has blue eyes and she always has a smile, every day.’ Coco
‘This is my sister’s old toy. It is red and it can sing on its own. It has a picture on the back.’ Noah
‘This is my Granny’s Dolly. She is cute and made from plastic and she is very cuddly because she is wearing woolly clothes and she is very old. She likes me and I am kind back. I like her woolly clothes.’ Alice
