Picnic Explantion:

 Point England School & Parent helpers go to The Point England beach for a picnic 2-3 times a year.

We go to the picnic to have fun and take a break from work in class.

Your parents can come to the picnic to get to know your teachers or your friends or they can just hang out with you for the day to keep you safe. 

Point England clothing is not tolerated into the water. (Your teachers will get mad if they see you in red and black in the water) The salt water can ruin your uniforms. 

We go to the picnic to have fun and bond with friends, or go to the picnic to take a break from work in school. If you want to swim you have to bring your swimming togs and a towel. 

Number Bonds: Maths

 Find the 2 numbers that bond together to make a tidy number (multiple of 10) then add on the remaining number. 

e.g. 6 + 7 + 4 = ? (6 + 4) = 10 10 + 7 = 17	77 + 5 + 3 = 77 + 3 = 80 80 + 5 = 85
4 + 6 + 3 = 13	29 + 1 + 4 = 34
9 + 4 + 1 = 14	5 + 68 + 2 = 75
13 + 4 + 7 = 24	1 + 6 + 89 = 96
18 + 6 + 2 = 26	27 + 7 + 3 = 37
5 + 7 + 15 = 27	6 + 5 + 34 = 45
3 + 19 + 1 = 23	85 + 5 +8 = 98
8 + 4 + 12 = 24	3 + 2 + 78 = 83
17 + 3 + 7 = 27

Early finishers.
