On Wednesday May 5, the students in Year 3 had the opportunity to learn from Alan Griffiths, from the Australian Museum of Childhood. Alan brought his phenomenal collection of toys to the school gym and each class spent a lesson exploring the toys, how they worked and the history behind their development.

Following the class visits, students met altogether for a conference where they learned about the scientific principles behind some basic toys. They also learned some interesting facts about how play has changed over time. This incursion made connections to their current Unit of Inquiry into how play changes across time and location.
