Yesterday Rooms 3, 5 and 6 went to Howick Historical Village and we saw some toy horses that we could ride on. My favourite part was playing the parlour games. I liked singing Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candlestick. The first thing that we did was trying to work out the olden day toys that the children used to play with. By Ashira

Yesterday we went to Howick Historical Village. First we went to the old toys. My favourite one was the Jacob’s ladder and we passed them around so we wouldn’t fight. Then we went to the outside toys. We saw a lot of riding horses and log walkers and those things that you have to put two sticks together and the ring will fly into the air. Then we went to the parlour games. We played the string game then we played squeak piggy squeak. Then we played the chin ball game and the other passing ball game and then I went to have a look around. By Jacey

The first activity that we went to was to the toys. We played with the toys. The names were Jacob’s ladder, acrobats, spinning tops and puppets. They were made of string and wood and glass. My favourite toy was the acrobat! We needed to squeeze the wood and it will turn around. My favourite activity was the nursery rhymes because I liked the games that she taught us. My favourite game at the nursery rhymes was Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over the candlestick because it was fun. By Orlando
