We found out that whilst a lot of the sweets are still being made today, they were much cheaper in the 1980s. We looked at how different the toys were from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, we used old Woolworths catalogues to do some retro shopping Numeracy.
We looked closely at toys from the 1980s and drew them carefully in Art. Great Bear Class also enjoyed watching old children's TV programmes and thinking about how they have changed. The animation styles and puppets made us laugh!
Great Bear Class became history detectives as we looked for clues in photographs to help us order them in a timeline. We looked at the clothes and hair styles, the toys and anything we could spot in the background, the children made some excellent observations.
Great Bear Class interviewed Mrs Dummett and Mrs Latham-Warde about their childhoods and could have asked questions all day, the children were all very engaged and interested in being a child from the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
We also had great fun carefully looking at all the wonderful things people had brought in from their family's childhood, thank you for allowing us to look at them.
Here are some pictures of us with 1980s toys and sharing things with the class.
