We have really been in the swing of things over the last 2 weeks, focusing on literacy and maths, doing our Inquiry on technology and creating our Miro scupltures. Here is an update on what has been happening.<\/p>

Inquiry: Technology<\/h3>

Over the past weeks, we have been looking at what technology was like in the past and comparing it to the technology we have today, specifically looking at communication, gaming and entertainment, toys and transport among other things. Technology has advanced so much over the last 50 years! <\/p>

Can you order the communication technologies below from oldest to most recent?<\/p>
