Topic

Thank you for all the baby photos. The children have had fun guessing who they are and seeing how everyone looked as a baby. I will send them home in book bags now. We have been looking at examples of old toys and finding out what they are made of, then comparing these to new toys and what they are made of. The children have also been sorting pictures of old and new toys.
