For our Inquiry this term, we have been looking at toys. We're loving this unit! We are exploring modern toys and toys from the past. We're inquiring into:
- how toys have changed or remained the same over time - the reasons why modern toys and toys from the past may be the same or different - why toys are important to people and how toys reflect what people value We're also looking at the different materials toys are made of (this links in with the technology unit we're doing with Mrs Nair). Today some of us shared some of our special or favourite toys. We identified what it is we love about our toys and how they make us feel. We started to notice some things we had in common. Lots of us have teddies or cuddly toys that are special to us because they make us feel safe and happy. We often cuddle them at night and they can stop us from feeling scared. We also had lots of toys that make us think of special people or memories. There were also toys that we play with family and friends, and these are important because they give us time with the people we love. After we'd shared our toys, we sorted them into groups. We had to give reasons for why we put our toys into the groups we chose. At first we grouped our toys into cuddly toys, toys from movies, and toys that have memories attached. Then we regrouped them differently. It didn't matter how we grouped them, as long as we could give a reason and justify our decision. Some of the other categories we had were: - toys we snuggle in bed - animals that like water - toys that are best played with others - toys from books - toys that like bananas - toys that were given to us by someone special - metal toys - toys that could be used for other things, not just playing
