Maths


Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been working hard in Mathematics and Numeracy this week. Some of us have been learning our number bonds using our problem-solving skills to work these out, and others have been learning to add 10 onto numbers.

New Radnor Castle

This week, we have been learning about the castle in New Radnor a long time ago. We went on a walk up Castle Mound to see where this once was. We then worked in groups to create our own castles using junk and described these, using our mathematical skills to help us.

Victorian Day

Yesterday we had a Victorian day where we dressed up in Victorian clothes and had the opportunity to learn about what school life was like in Victorian times. We pretended we were in a Victorian school which was very different to school life now. Even Mrs Lingard had to wear the dunces hat for talking when she shouldn’t have been! We also explored Victorian clothes and toys and made our own cup and ball toy. Lastly, we played some Victorian yard games which were great fun.


Victorian Cooking

As part of their learning of the Victorian era, Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne made Victorian bread and butter. We followed a recipe carefully and used our mathematical skills to measure out the correct ingredients. Once the bread had been cooked and the butter was ready, we then had the opportunity to eat it all up…. yum yum!
