As part of our New Year Topic, the children have studied a famous European Artist. We chose Andy Goldsworthy, who lived most of his life in Harrogate, Yorkshire. The children have also researched his life and have written a Biography all about him.

Last week, Buddy spent his first full week in Herons’ class. He made a huge teddy bear and brought it back from the workshop, he tried to help us decorate the Christmas tree, he delivered a Santa Cam from Father Christmas, he got stuck on the maths wall when putting up a certificate and he dressed up in our uniform. What do you think is the funniest thing Buddy has done? What do you htink he will do next?

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?
