How are toys different from those in the past?
http://www.digitalbrain.com/digitalbrain/web/subjects/1.%20primary/ks1his1/Toys/ In this section your teacher will encourage you to look at toys from different ages. This means that you can look at toys belonging to your teacher, or parents and grandparents. You could also look for evidence in books. It would be interesting to compare which toys are still being used and why perhaps some are no longer popular. |

UK SoW: Primary History Unit 1 (Year 1)
http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/history/his1?version=1 How are our toys different from those in the past? This unit looks at similarities and differences between toys today and toys in the past. It introduces children to the concepts of 'old' and 'new', and encourages them to think about the changes in their own lives and in those of their family or adults around them. The approach used in this unit could be applied to the study of other everyday things from the past, eg clothes, games. It provides a wide range of opportunities for children to develop their speaking and listening skills. |
