Children will continue to look at historical sources of evidence. In the first part they will use books to answer questions to help them develop a basic understanding of the Victorian era. The teacher will then substantiate this by providing clear answers to the research answers. Children will have links made with their background research and the focus on toys. For instance, how there were differences between rich and poor.
Children will then learn about Victorian toys through an exploration of actual toys (pictures/videos may be needed if you can’t access Victorian toys),After an exploration of the toys and reflection questions children will be taught about Victorian toys.
Finally, children will complete small steps which will support them to independently make simple comparisons with Victorian and modern toys.

Unit overview:
In this unit, children will explore the features of the non-fiction text ‘Toys and Games’ by Sally Hewitt. They will be ‘hooked’ into the unit by describing a set of hidden mystery toys from the past. They will then try to solve a selection of riddles that describe toys from the past. Children will be taught how to retrieve simple factual information from the text. They will then use the text to support their knowledge on grammatical features, such as the use of verbs and using the word endings er and est to compare toys from the past. The children will then be taught about why the glossary is important in non-fiction books. They will read simple definitions from key words within the text. Building upon this, they will begin to write their own simple definitions of topic words relating to toys. Using the knowledge learnt from this unit, children will plan out simple ideas to write their own factual text about a toy from the past. They will describe the toy’s appearance, write about how it is made and how it moves. The children’s writing can then be displayed to build up a class timeline of toys from the past, displaying factual information about each toy.
