On Friday 7th February children in both the Crabtree schools will be participating in the NSPCC's Number Day. During the day, each class will take part in mathematical activities designed to promote problem solving and teamwork.

Number Day is a national initiative organised by the NSPCC to raise funds for their important work. To support this fundraising, we are inviting the children to dress up on Number Day. This means that on Number Day children (and staff) can wear non-uniform with a number on it in exchange for a donation to the NSPCC.

The children might wear a cap or shirt with a number on it OR they might prefer to add their favourite number (or type of number e.g odds, evens, primes, squares, decimals, fractions) to a piece of clothing. Children could also think about different representations of numbers that they see around them (e.g dice, playing cards, Roman numerals, clocks).
