Hello!!

The last 2 weeks, class 1 is working really hard with our IDL topic, History of Toys.

During the first week, we explored the fantasy world of Toy Story and we learnt lots of stuff about our favourite characters, Woody and Buzz. We also tried to make our own Mr Potate Head and I believe that we did it great!!!   In literacy, we practised the sound ” T for toys”  by making crafts, printing the sound and plying lots of active games. We also made a missing poster of our favourite toy by writing a small description of that. In science, we talked about different materials and we checked by which material our favourite toys are made of.

In week 2, we gave emphasis on old and new toys by sharing experiences about my childhood and the toys I was playing with when I was in their age. We learnt about the differences between old and toys focusing on the materials that they were made of. I introduced to the kids the old game ” cups and ball” and we made our own toys. We tried many many many times to throw the ball into the cup, at the end we made it!!! During this week, we learnt about the printing method and Andy Warhol. The kids made amazing printings inspired by him. Finally in maths, we focused on numbers bonds to 5 (Mariam, Abdul, Muhsin), 10 (Joshua, Diego), 20( Murray), on place value- tens and units- (Sorley, Zainab) as well as on comparing groups of toys using the words “more” and “less”.

Check all our amazing work and of course the lovely toys the kids built up in their free time.

PS: I promise that next time I will upload more photos !!
