Mrs Charmley's Favourite Toys

Today Mrs Charmley talked to us about some of the toys that she used to play with. She shared some interesting information about the toys.


Wind up toys had a special key that would turn a spring and wind the toy up to make it move.


Some soft toys were made from material called felt. The toys were hand stitched by mothers for their children.


Many toys were made of metal not plastic. They were very strong.

Special Features On Our Favourite Toys

Last week we learned to label some special features on our favourite toys using a programme called KidPix. Look at some of the adjectives we have used. We took our own photos using the class digital camera. Some of our photos might be a bit 'fuzzy' because we were learning to focus before we took the photo.

Look at our Wordles

We have been brainstorming interesting words to describe our 'Wild Things'. We chose words that we really liked and used them in a 'Wordle'. During this activity we learned that we could change the font, colours for the words and choose the layout.
