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. Children will complete either an independent task or an adapted helping hands task drawing comparisons with Victorian and modern toys. A chilli challenge is provided to broaden children’s learning. Challenges should be given to all. Not just your most able. They are purposely open ended. The ‘differentiation’ comes from how your most able access the task.

This activity can be used to help children understand the difference between old and new toys. Children are presented with several pictures. They are encouraged to talk about each picture, discussing what they can see, and whether they think the toy is old or new and why. Children can then glue the pictures onto the correct side. This activity develops children’s speaking and listening skills along with their understanding of time. It is advisable to show children a selection of old and new toys before completing this activity, so they can see the difference between them.

Children compare the toys they play with today (screens, batteries, plastic) with toys from the past (wooden trains, rocking horses, spinning tops), and learn how we find out about the past from grandparents, museums and old photographs.

This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading Mini Grey’s ‘Toys in Space.’ The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language. The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The session is best suited for children in years 1-2, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
