Our trip to MOTAT

This week we visited MOTAT - It was a rather exhausting but fun filled day. Needless to say we got to see a lot of toys.

On Friday we recorded this podcast so you can see some of the interesting things we saw on the trip.







We saw a spinning top and we wondered if it was like the one you use to play with Mr Wood?





We also got to watch spinning tops in action - look at the video below

Sonny Bee

When we went to the singing assembly we were spotted by Sonny Bee as a class that was trying really hard to sing the songs even though we didn't even know all the words!!!
'Sonny Bee' spent a week in our classroom and enjoyed learning with us. Sonny Bee watched over us all week and was always keen for a cuddle. See us cuddling 'Sonny Bee' and look out for Mrs Elliot. She is a student teacher who spent a week with us and will visit us again next term.

Making toys at home

Flynn has been busy making toys at home. He brought them in to share with us. We all enjoyed using his fishing rod with a magnet on it - and tried hard to pick up the fish (made from the plastic lid of an ice cream container with a paper clip). Thanks for sharing this neat toy with us Flynn.



Flynn also showed us a toy kite he made with his Dad. It was made with ice cream sticks, paper, string and plenty of cellotape. It's great to see us exploring the toys that we can make and have fun with.

Strawberry shortcake toys

Jorja brought in some toys that her mother played with when she was five. Look at the photos Jorja took of her mothers strawberry shortcake toys. We discovered that some of them still smelt of strawberry!

Not a box by Room 6

This weeks shared book was called 'Not a box' by Antonette Portis It's a fantastic book as the main character has fun showing you that a box is not a box when you use your imagination - it can be anything you want it to be from a car to a robot. We decided to use the programme KidPix to show you all what we decided the box could be. We all started with the same box image on KidPix and then drew our own drawing.

Stephanie's favourite toy is a kitten. It was given to her by her cousin Annabelle. She took a photo of her kitten and put labels on it using KidPix,
