Problem Solving Day in Herons

Today was maths problem solving day and we loved it in Herons class. We had to solve the problem of sorting out the natural materials outside into a pictogram. We sorted out the leaves, bark, twigs and stones. We also had the problem of interpreting our data from our tally chart. We needed another way to clearly see what our favourite present was. We then had to asnwer questions to show how we solved the problems. What did you enjoy the most about problem solving day? What did you learn?

The children in Doves were presented with a problem: Father Christmas’ toy workshop has broken down and there are only 19 days left before Christmas day!!! Father Christmas needs your help. You are tasked with: Finding as many toys as you can and adding up the price to see how much you have spent. The aim is to get more toys for less money. All the children worked together to find as many toys as possible for the least amount of money.

Children in KS1 had a fantastic workshop today, led by Halifax Bank. The children listened to a story about where money comes from and how important it is to save our money. The children then experiences working in a bank where they counted money and paid money into the bank. The children were very lucky and got lots of goodies, including a new money box!

Christmas Maths Decorations

In class this week, Herons had been sent a challenge from Mrs McGrath to create a Christmas decoration using natural objects. They had to plan and design their decoration using their measuring skills. The children have had a fantastic week using a ruler to measure the different sized twigs to make a class decoration. What was your favourite part about making the class Christmas tree? Can you remember any of the measurements?
