Tremendous Toys: Have you got this toy at home?

This half term, our topic is called 'Tremendous Toys: Have you got this toy at home?' We will be exploring how toys have changed since our Grandparents were little to the current toys today. We will get to play with a variety of old toys and will use their DT skills to create their very own moving toy. For more information about what we will be covering this half term, please see our medium term plan.


Fruit Kebabs

Today, Year 1 made fruit kebabs. The children had to chop, peel and arrange fruit into a tasty and pleasing presentation. The children reasearched a variety of different fruits before designing their kebab. They had to think about the look, feel and taste. They learnt how to use everyday tools safely and how to present their product. The children got to eat their kebabs and evaluate them with their peers. Great job everyone!
