Good morning Primary Two!

                      This week we will be learning about Pirates.  I hope you learn some new interesting facts.  You will also have to imagine that you are a pirate!  Keep up the good work with your reading, online activities and mental maths games.  New tasks have now been set.  Try to read lots of stories.  Perhaps you could do drawings and write sentences to make your own book.

                                                        Mrs Conway  

If you are up for a pirate challenge have a go at our maths challenge 'The Mystery of the Missing Golden Goblet.'

Numeracy: Number Bonds for 8

We are learning about pairs of numbers which can be added together to make 8.  These are: 0 add 8 makes 8, 1 and 7 makes 8, 2 and 6 makes 8, 3 and 5 makes 8, 4 and 4 makes 8, 5 and 3 makes 8, 6 and 2 makes 8, 7 and 1 makes 8 and 8 and 0 makes 8.  Watch the videos 'Number Pairs for 8' and 'Number Bonds for 8.' Call out a number between 0 and 8.  See if your child can say the number pair to make 8 really fast.    For example if the adult says '6' the child should say '2.'  Complete worksheet 'Number Pairs to 8 Super Spiders.'
