Welcome to Year One
This term our Discover enquiry question is "Do we always have a choice of the toys in our toybox?" Our focus is History. The children have been exploring toys from the past and within their own living memory. The children have been invited to bring an old or favourite toy from home belonging to a family member. They have used chronology to place the toys in order from the decade they were made. We will continue this learning to focus on toys form the 1960s with a welcome visit from a grandparent with some old toys to share.
We are Historians...
We are Mathematicians...
We are storytellers....
We love Forest School!
