Dear editor,
Schools across Edinburgh are being encouraged to sign up to NSPCC Number Day to help more children engage with and enjoy maths.
Number Day is aimed at nurseries and schools, with teachers and pupils raising vital funds for the NSPCC.
The event takes place this Friday, February 3, with free curriculum-based downloadable activities available to schools across the country.
The event is being supported by veteran children’s TV presenter and maths enthusiast Johnny Ball.
The funds raised from this event could help fund NSPCC school’s programs like Speak Out Stay Safe, which teaches children in an age-appropriate way to recognise the signs of abuse and speak out if something is worrying them.
If you would like to know more about taking part in the NSPCC’s forthcoming Number Day please visit: www.nspcc.org.uk/support-us/charity-fundraising/schools-fundraising-ideas/number-day/
Our school’s team is also recruiting new Speak Out Stay Safe volunteers in specific areas of Scotland to deliver workshops in primary schools to years five and six.
To find out more about becoming a Speak Out Stay Safe volunteer please email volunteerrecruitment@nspcc.org.uk
Sincerely,
Georgia Hall-Newell,
NSPCC Schools Coordinator for Edinburgh
