Y1: Our Toys

Back to News

29th Sep 2019

Today the children brought in and shared their toys from home with each other.

They were encouraged to think about

what the toys was called
the materials they were made from
how to describe them
how they work and what they do
what makes a a toy a favourite toy

Children worked in pairs and small groups (with adults listening in to support a good use of vocabulary and encourage the children to speak in full sentences).

These full sentences were then used to help the children construct their own sentences to write!

The children used their exciting stimulus to write all about their favourite toy.

Thank you to parents and carers for facilitating toys being brought into school.
