Yesterday, year 1 visited The Young V&A, formerly known as the Childhood Museum. They travelled by bus and spotted many different places along the way like the Fire Station, which they’ll learn about in year 2.
As they stepped through the doors of the Museum, the air buzzed with excitement. Giggles and gasps of amazement filled the space as children laid eyes on the colourful exhibits that stretched out before them.
The museum was like a magical playground with exhibits that sparkled with imagination. From ancient dolls with stories to tell, to futuristic gadgets, each display was a masterpiece of play. The best part? Many exhibits were interactive! We could touch, play, and even try on costumes. It was a whirlwind of laughter and discovery as we explored the wonders of toy history.
Anna asked “how long does it take for you to make those bags?” Amal spotted some collages on the floor and asked “what is that?” To which she said, “They are my inspiration, my ideas that I put on paper to help me make it come to life!”
As our adventure came to an end, children were hooked on their topic for this term – ToysWhy have toys changed over time? Most importantly, thank you to all the parents who supported Kapoor class on the trip!
