Year 1's Day at Cannock Chase Toy Museum

The children in 1 Elm and 1 Fir thoroughly enjoyed their day at the Toy Museum. We have just started our new topic called 'The Magic Toymaker' and we are going to be learning lots about old and new toys and what materials were used to make old toys. Today the children learnt the names of some old toys such as a diabolo and a marionette puppet. They had great fun playing with the cup and ball, the yo-yos, the diabolo and the hopscotch! Before lunch the children compared old and new teddy bears and dolls and watched a fantastic puppet show! After lunch there was just enough time to make our very own peg dolls. Finally we pretended to be robots, soldiers and a jack in a box and learnt a super dance routine!
