Good morning pirates !
I am pirate Sibylle, first I set up my shop and dressed as a pirate. I bought 9 items in total so I still have 1£. I bought necklaces and lots of precious things because I like that and I will make jewels with it.
It costs 2£ for 2 jewels and after that I will still have 8£.
It is easy to count with 10 because we have 10 fingers !
Hello, Sybille. I love that you dressed up as a pirate for this task! You’re right-adding and subtracting to ten is much easier if you use your fingers.
Hi Reception. Miss Savage is working at the hub school this week so I’m looking forward to reading all your comments and seeing your hard work.
Ahoy me hearties! Lovely photo Pirate Sibylle, I want to come to your shop.
I’ve bought 1 waterbottle and now I’ve got £9 left. I’m also buying a gun so I have £8 left to spend. I bought these because I need water and to stay safe.
2 jewels will cost £2. I will have £8 left. I counted down from 10 “10,9,8”. Two children will have £20. My list is a sword, an eye patch, a parrot, a hat, a hook and precious stones.
BOGOF is 10 jewels. I doubled 5.
You sound like a very thoughtful pirate Mikey ?☠️ Well done!
Florence and Philip have loved making a pirate shop. Philip is a very strict shop keeper, he does not let you spend more than you have. Florence is struggling with this concept as she is a shopoholic!
Haha! I can just imagine. Sounds like great fun in your house ?
Hello.
I have bought 3 toy pirate swords for me and my friends.
They cost £1 each, so £3 all together.
I have £7 left to spend.
I would like to spend this money on a toy pirate ship.
Good Maths Rocco! You must be a very kind pirate to buy things for your friends ?☠️
Hi Miss Siswick! I bought two items for £2, and have £8 left. I bought flowers and a ring because those are my favourite things.
Hello Harlow, it sounds like maybe you are a pirate princess? ?
We made a flag for our shop, a cardboard sward and telescope, we used our toy coins and notes.
We had in our shop a lot of princesses, a bracelet and a crown.
Philippa bought 6 items and then came back for 1 more. She spent 7 pounds. We have left 3 pounds. I have to buy 3 more things. She bought does items because she liked them the most.
We had a lot of fun doing this assignment.
Will send you a picture by email
Hello fellow pirates and Miss Siswick! I bought 3 jewels and had £7 left, then I bought a golden chalice and chocolate biscuit (£2) and had £5 left. Then I spent the rest of the money on buying 5 more jewels and biscuits, so I had no money left!
We struggled with the concept of BOGOF, despite mummy’s best efforts!
I enjoyed dressing up as a pirate and playing with my treasure chest and jewels, at last they have come in handy!

I bought 4 items. I paid 4 pounds ?. I had 6 pounds ? left (10-4=6). As a real pirate I used a Chinese abacus ? to check my result.
I need to spend 6 pounds more to have 10 items.
It will cost 2 pounds to buy 2 jewels ??. I will have 8 pounds left if I have ten or 4 if I have 6 left (10-2=8 or 6-2=4).
Two children together can buy 20 items (10+10=20).
If jewels are ‘buy one get one free’, with 5 pounds I will get 10 (2+2+2+2+2=10).
I have bought a necklace, a shiny ball, a light cup and a bracelet, I spent 4 pounds. I have left 6£ to buy 6 items.
I bought 1 sword, a pirate’s hat, a pirate’s costume (because I like to dress well) and a telescope. I spent £4 and I have £6 left. To get up to 10 items, I need to buy 6 more things.
It will cost £2 to buy 2 jewels because they cost £1 each. I now have £8 left, which I will use to buy sweets and chocolates!!!
I sold food, gems and candles in my pirate shop. I made a lot of money.
