Problem solving in Reception

In Reception we have been learning how to problem solve including problems such as what material will build the longest bridge, which animals will not make the boat sink and how to build Mr Gumpy’s motor car. The children read the story, ‘Mr Gumpy’s motor car’ and planned and built it outside using resources such as tyres, wood and crates. We had a boys and a girls team and I think you will agree they did very well. Their car had to have 4 wheels and stay up with them all in it. Future problem solvers of our school!
