He was born in 1948, just 3 years after World War Two ended and came in to talk to us about the toys he played with when he was a young boy!
We found out all about:
-marbles and how to play with them
-spinning tops
-Meccano
-old television (not everyone had one!)
-toy soldiers
-metal cars and train sets
-building toy planes
We also learnt lots about what the toys were made from when Mr Morton was young.
Mr Morton was a primary school teacher before he retired so also told us lots about what schools were like when he was teaching. They had wooden desks and he used a blackboard and chalk!
We loved our visitor and listened really carefully. Thank you Mr Morton!
We will soon be asking our parents and grandparents about the toys they played with when they were young.
Any visitors are welcome to come and chat to us/share memories or show us their old toys!
