You may have read in another post that Rainbows have been learning about the past and have been exploring miners lamps. To support their understanding of how the world used to be and how it has changed over time they read the book "In the Toy Museum" by David Lucas. The story is about lots of old toys who wake up at night and hide from their friend. They talked about toys that the children have now, and discussed toys they had a long time ago. The children were able to play with some toys from the past during provision time and loved trying something new! Here you can see them having fun and persevering with some new things!

Rainbows have had another historical object to explore this week; a miners lamp. They identified that it was made from metal and glass and we talked about how it was much safer than using a candle on their helmet. They have been using the words "A long time ago" and "the past" to help us explain about history. The Rainbows were very interested in the topic of mining, which of course is so important within our community. They looked at some photos of coal mining and talked about the process including the use of pit ponies and how children had to help in the mine! Some of the children did some independent writing about the miners lamp and mining as they found it very interesting. |
