Exploring Nelly's toy box!

This week we are learning about the opposites old and new. On Tuesday we looked at lots of different old things including photographs, books, a camera, an iron, a typewriter, a kettle and a teddy bear. Thank you to Fallon who brought some terrific old things in for us to explore!

Today we had a visitor from Hertford Museum who brought us lots of old toys to explore. She showed us an old black and white photo of a girl called Nelly, and we had lots of fun looking at and playing with some of the toys she would have played with when she was a little girl! We had to use our thinking skills to work out how some of the toys worked and talked about what they were made of and how they are different from toys we play with today. Look at all these fantastic toys we got to explore and learn about - do you know what they are? How do you think they work?
