It has been extremely encouraging to see how the children have tackled these problems with enthusiasm and increasing accuracy. In History we have been looking at toys the children play with and discussing their favourite toy.We then looked at toys the children's parents played with at the same age and talked about similarities and differences. Mrs Winter kindly sent in some horse figures she played with and a train Mr Winter had as a child.Ted explained to the class from his homework sheet how his parents played with the toys and what they were made from. ![](https://stakesbyschool.net/images/P1060672.JPG) [ Wednesday 15th March](https://stakesbyschool.net/blog/2017-03-15-13-58-08-wednesday-15th-march) [Friday 17th March 2017 ](https://stakesbyschool.net/blog/2017-03-17-09-35-13-friday-17th-march-2017) ![Stakesby Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/images/logo/StakesbyPrimary-Logo.png) ### Stakesby Primary Academy Byland Road Whitby North Yorkshire YO21 1HY 01947 820231 - [Enquire Learning Trust ](https://www.enquirelearningtrust.org/) - [Facebook Feed](https://www.facebook.com/stakesbyprimaryacademy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stakesbyprimaryacademy/) © Copyright 2026 Stakesby Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stakesbyschool.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
