We will be taking part and supporting NSPCC Number Day! The theme of this year’s Number Day, is “Making Math’s Meaningful” and it is a great way to bring about a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards it. Throughout the day, the children will all be taking part in a numerous fun and practical math’s activities; Key Stage 2 will be taking part in a times table battle and both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 will be taking part in online quizzes with the other primary schools in our Trust.

We would also like to invite all the children to take part in “Dress up for Digits!” The children can come to school dressed up as anything math’s related. This could be something as simple as a sports kit with numbers on, wearing clothes with shapes on or a pattern, or they may want to do something a little more extravagant! There are excellent examples online if you are struggling for inspiration. Please note, the children do not have to dress up and will still take part in all the fun activities throughout the day. We would also like to raise some money for the NSPCC, but again, there is no obligation to contribute and you don’t have to pay to dress up. A few children will be in the playground rattling some buckets before and after school; if you would like to donate or send money in with the children so they can donate, please do. If you have queries at all please do get in touch, and here is to a fun-filled Number Day!
