This week, Year 1 went on a trip to the Museum of Childhood at Sudbury Hall. The visit was a fantastic opportunity to apply and revisit learning from our history and science topics.
The children explored a wide range of toys from the past and compared them with modern toys, noticing similarities and differences. They had the opportunity to create timelines using toys and used their knowledge of material properties to help order artefacts, making comments such as, “This is dull and made of wood, it must be old.”
There was lots for us to see and do. We were especially amazed by the bedrooms on the ceiling!
Overall, it was an engaging and memorable learning experience that brought our classroom learning to life.
