Next month, on February 4, schools across the UK will come together for a day filled with fun educational maths activities, as part of the NSPCC’s Number Day.

The annual day sees teachers and pupils raise funds for the NSPCC, enabling it to continue its work to support children, young people and their families.

There is still time for schools in the county to get involved if they’re not already, by searching ‘NSPCC Number Day 2022’ and completing the registration forms.

Once signed up, schools will be sent resources that can be used in the classroom, including games and activities such as Buddy’s Key Challenge.

For this challenge, pupils complete maths puzzles to create a key which can unlock a door so Buddy can visit their school.

Schools will also be sent tips and ideas on how to fundraise, resources to help promote Number Day and teachers will have access to a wide range of games and tasks.

Happy counting.
