Toy Detectives in Year 1! 

Our historians at Darwen St James’ have been travel-travelling back in time! Using our Kapow History curriculum, the children explored how toys have changed over the generations.

 What we did:

  • Compared "Past" and "Present" toys using our interactive board.

  • Investigated materials like wood and metal vs. modern plastic.

  • Discussed what has changed (batteries and screens!) and what stayed the same (the fun of a good train set!).

It was brilliant to see such great note-taking and historical thinking from our youngest researchers. Great job, Year 1!
