ABOVE: Yr 2 Incursion
Step into History incursions are designed for Year 1 and 2.
Year 1: Toys and Games in History Incursion
Students get to play, play, play with tables and tables of toys and puppets. There also some historic classroom books, slates and an old school port, as well as some technology. One presenter comes, who speaks briefly at the start. Students roam in an unstructured way.
See Year 1 page.
Year 2: Changing Technology and Games Incursion
This is more structured and requires parent or grandparent volunteers. We offer four rotations (as seen in the promo video):
1. Experience old phones, cameras and antique appliances + Play with old toys eg spinning tops, toy cars, paper dolls, yo-yo's
2. Learn to use nib pens and ink + Try a typewriter and a slate
3. Wash with a Washboard + Learn to shave + Beat a rug
4. Play old games: skipping, elastics, knuckles, dominoes, pick-up sticks, hobby horses.
