Toys, Toys, Toys.

Last week we brought Toys to school to use in our Learning.
On Tuesday we brought 'Soft Toys' to school and used them in Maths.
We ordered them from smallest to biggest. We counted them. We grouped them in sizes, shapes and colours. 
Roman had the biggest Toy and Alice had the smallest.
It was lots of fun.

We also wrote stories about our toys and read stories to them at reading time. We took them to the Library and played with them all day.

Toys, Toys, Toys.

We are learning about Toys. 
We enjoyed a fantastic trip to Motat last week and this got us inspired to make our own soft toys.
Fist we looked at pictures of soft toys and brought soft toys to school.
Then we drew a plan of what we wanted our soft toy to look like, onto paper.
Mrs Newman then cut a template out of calico.
Then we coloured the template in and added the details using fabric pens.This was quite tricky as the material kept moving.
Next lovely Charlotte's Nana took the templates home and sewed the two pieces together as Mrs Newman's sewing machine had broken.
Today we stuffed the toys with stuffing and Charlotte's Nana came to school with her sewing machine to sew the last part up.
They look amazing Room 9a. You are all so clever.
A big thank you to Charlotte's Nana, she is a star.
