Numeracy Day

-


You may not be aware of a government scheme to help improve adults develop their proficiency and confidence in Maths. This year on Wednesday 13th May we celebrate National Numeracy Day with a virtual festival.





Maths champions Rachel Riley, Bobby Seagull and Carol Vorderman, author Lauren Child and the Bank of England’s chief economist Andy Haldane are among those taking part in the National Numeracy Virtual Festival. Please see the itinerary attached.





This festival is targeted at adults, but the support will help parents to better help their children. The Festival covers three areas:

1) helping children (8am - 12.30)

2) personal development (1pm - 4pm)

3) getting to grips with household finance (4pm - 6pm)




If you decide to have a go, please use this link to the National Numeracy Challenge:

If you complete their survey, they can offer support and ways to help you improve your Maths skills, not just to help your children, but for all aspects of life!





If you are not sure yet, please look at the Boosting Number Confidence document I have attached. A full, interactive version may be found on:

Hopefully, we can all raise our Maths skills together!

Thank you for your continued support,

What a great first day at Stubbers

After lunch, we all started our first activities. We all got to go on a climbing wall, with many of us reaching the top. We also got to try open canoeing or double kayaking, even though it was meant to be fairly dry activity many of us managed to get nice and wet. After our activities we found our tents for the next couple of days and then had our dinner, it was a very tasty bolognaise with fruit for pudding.  We are now waiting for our evening activity, the mini Olympics, then time for some well earned rest.  We will keep you updated in the morning. Keep an eye out.

We even managed to find some exciting equipment to play on along the way.  We are now eating our lunch, and getting ready for the fun this afternoon.  Keep checking for exciting updates!
