Toy Creations

This term we have been looking at toys and their ethical and environmental sustainability. We had a guest speaker come and talk to us about Trade Aid and their efforts to be an ethical organisation by paying the creators of their goods directly without need for a 'middle man'. We looked at different countries and their toys and mapped where our own toys come from. We also looked at the NZ Buzzy Bee toy and other NZ made toys.
We have finished our unit of work by planning, creating, revising plans and then finally building our own toys and games. This afternoon we spent some time playing one another's games.
