Grandparents’ Day.
We invited in the childrens grandparents during the last week of the half term, to talk to the children about what they remember about being at school and what toys they used to play with. We had a fantastic afternoon – the childen loved talking to our visitors and I think our visitors had a great time too! The grandparents were really impressed with our whiteboard – it’s very different to blackboards from when they were at school. They enjoyed helping the children make some pop up toys out of paper and card.Why dont you ask your mum or Dad what it was like when they were at school?
