This term our topic is ‘What makes me a toy expert?’. In history we have been learning about toys within living memory. We created a museum in the classroom with our parents and grandparents’ favourite toys and enjoyed learning about them.      

We have also visited The Beaney Museum in Canterbury to take part in a Victorian toy and game workshop. We made our own clay marbles and played with lots of toys from the past. 

In literacy we have been reading ‘Toys in space’. In the story, Hoctopize loses his favourite teddy called Cuddles so we made missing posters to help the Hoctopize find him. We have also written party invitations for a party to cheer up Hoctopize

In maths our topic has been place value to 10. We can read, write, order and compare numbers to 10. Here is a selection of different activities we have done.   

The weather has been lovely this term so we have been able to do some outdoor learning. We have made ourselves using natural resources, collected leaves to thread, been on autumn scavenger hunts and made animal pictures using things we have collected from our outside environment. 

Finally we have really enjoyed COOL time each afternoon. Some of our favourite things to do have been colour mixing, fine motor activities and using sketchpad on the laptops.
