We have started our brand new topic called Snapshots of the Past. First we had to learn what the words decade and century meant. Then we began learning about toys and games from different decades. We learned how to make a timeline, how to draw a Venn diagram and make a table of comparisons. We have looked at toys people played with by searching for reliable information during ICT. We have even created our own board game by finding out what makes a good game in any decade!

“I learned that in the olden days girls only played with girls toys and boys only played with boys toys. Rich and poor people had different toys made from different materials too.”
