• NSPCC Number Day

  Fri 26 Jan 2024 Bethany Simpson

  NSPCC NUMBER DAY! 

   

  We are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in Number Day on

  Friday 2 February 2024.

   

  Everything the NSPCC does protects children today and prevents
  about tomorrow

   

  The NSPCC need our support more than ever. 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.

   

  On average, a child contacts Childline every 45 seconds

   

  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 having a fun day of maths activities, and we will be taking part in Dress up for Digits. Pupils are asked to wear an item of clothing with a number on it (football shirt, cap, netball shirt or even a onesie!). Or get even more creative by dressing in a maths or numbers theme!

   

  To help raise money for the NSPCC, we are asking for donations, and we’d love everyone in the school to take part in this special event. We’re really looking forward to all the fun of Number Day, and we really appreciate your support. All the money we raise at St Giles will make an enormous difference to children today and help the NSPCC be there for children tomorrow.
