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! ### Problem solving in Reception [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/F71C10C9-8415-4E78-9410-AA33FC5A67DA.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/F71C10C9-8415-4E78-9410-AA33FC5A67DA.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/AEB10C5C-04AA-46E8-84E4-C0C7A5AD896C.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/AEB10C5C-04AA-46E8-84E4-C0C7A5AD896C.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/92B1C00E-C943-4BF8-B200-6C97DDCC9FE1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/92B1C00E-C943-4BF8-B200-6C97DDCC9FE1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/A29D05BE-B08A-49F0-915D-D80DD4979C35.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/A29D05BE-B08A-49F0-915D-D80DD4979C35.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/90B5A8E5-B737-4615-A678-1F94732E4AA4.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/90B5A8E5-B737-4615-A678-1F94732E4AA4.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/D9327DE4-076E-4804-B333-07964715FFB4.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/D9327DE4-076E-4804-B333-07964715FFB4.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/5715605B-3BF6-4ADF-81D0-C2F77EBE5207.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/5715605B-3BF6-4ADF-81D0-C2F77EBE5207.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/B9DB70CE-0922-444B-BD98-6288303E70C0.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/B9DB70CE-0922-444B-BD98-6288303E70C0.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/99A8B1D5-659E-4FF1-992F-A50488F79A41.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/99A8B1D5-659E-4FF1-992F-A50488F79A41.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/59A39C87-2595-43E3-8CC7-E81A8CCD7A7C.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/59A39C87-2595-43E3-8CC7-E81A8CCD7A7C.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/B1641084-1B4D-40AA-8E76-12286EA4851A.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/B1641084-1B4D-40AA-8E76-12286EA4851A.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/CC3D3F7F-AD85-486E-8C13-844DDBA45ED5.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/CC3D3F7F-AD85-486E-8C13-844DDBA45ED5.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/5A60D542-17F0-4950-A6C2-D067A224FE86.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/gallery/problem-solving-in-reception/5A60D542-17F0-4950-A6C2-D067A224FE86.jpeg) [Maths](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/tag/maths) [Reception](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/tag/reception) [ Map Skills and Orienteering ](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/2023-06-29-19-12-07-map-skills-and-orienteering) [Electricity Workshop ](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/2023-06-30-16-32-12-electricity-workshop) ![St Bridget's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/logo/St_Bridgets_Logo_White_Linear.png) **St Bridget's Catholic Primary School** St Bridget's Lane Egremont Cumbria CA22 2BD Tel: 01946 820320 ##
