NSPCC Number Day 2022

Dear Parents and Carers,
 
We are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in their Number Day on Friday 4th February 2022.    
 
Children deserve an equal start in life
The NSPCC believes that all children deserve a childhood free from harm but, sadly, that is not the case for many children. That is why the NSPCC is fighting for every childhood and working to help keep children safe from abuse.
The NSPCC needs our support. By raising money, we can help to fund their vital services such as Childline – the helpline that’s always there for children and young people whatever their problem or concern, and the NSPCC Speak out Stay Safe Programme which aims to equip a generation of children with the knowledge and understanding they need to stay safe from abuse and neglect through delivery of assemblies and workshops in schools.
Making maths meaningful
Number Day is a great way to make maths fun and bring about a positive, ‘can-do’ attitude towards it. We are planning to have a variety of mathematical madness going on throughout the day!

• Non-school uniform - We will be taking part in Dress up for Digits and pupils will be invited to wear an item of clothing with a number on it (football shirt, netball shirt, something homemade or even a onesie!). To help raise money for the NSPCC, we are asking for a suggested donation of £1, and we would love everyone in the school to take part in this special event.
• EYFS and KS1 Number robots – Children will design a number robot in class and there will be a prize for the child with the best design in each team bubble. Mrs Fitchett will judge this.
• KS2 Times tables – We will be holding a Times Table race within each bubble in KS2 and the person with the best score and time will receive a prize.
• Times Table Rockstars/Numbots – On Friday, we will be looking to announce the top 10 children in school. To be in with a chance of being on the leader board, please encourage your child to be on Numbots (KS1) or TTRS (KS2) as much as possible this week.
• Coin Construction – Throughout the day, we will be hosting a competition to see which class can construct the tallest coin tower. If you have any lose change that can be used to support your child’s class please send this in with them.
• Activities – Throughout the day, there will be a range of Maths activities being carried out within school.

It all adds up
We’re looking forward to all the fun of Number Day, and we really appreciate your support. All the money we raise at Park Street will make an enormous difference to children today and help change the lives of children tomorrow.
