This week, Year 1 visited Beamish as part of their history topic looking at homes and toys from the past. They took part in a workshop where they got to play with a range of toys from the 1950s. They had to work out what they were made from and how they worked. They also discussed who would have played with the toys because in the 1950s there were toys for boys and toys for girls. After the workshop we then visited houses from the 1950s and 1900s where we spotted things that were the same and things that were different from our own homes. It was great to see for ourselves what we have been learning about in the classroom. We of course loved the tram!
