Autumn 1 Week 6
Grandparents Afternoon:
Last week the Year 1 children had a fantastic afternoon learning about history first hand from some of the Year 1 grandparents. The children were thrilled to meet the grandparents and be able to ask all sorts of questions about what life was like when they were young. The visitors brought a whole host of artifacts including photographs, toys, books and magazines, coins, record players, cameras and even examples of their own school work. The children joined in with 1960's crafts and made items out of paper. The whole afternoon was a buzz of excitement and wonder as the children glimpsed what life was like for a child in the 1960s. The session was a huge success and was finished off beautifully by a poem written by one of the children's very talented grandparents who wrote a poem about what life was like when she was a child. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the grandparents who volunteered to join us. The Year 1 children learnt a great deal and will remember this experience fondly.
