We have been celebrating National Numeracy a week early at SSPP. Children have been playing Numbots Bingo, creating Numberblocks bottle rockets and thinking about their vocation in the future and how that relates to maths.
Today in school, we celebrated NSPCC Number Day by coming to school dressed as our times table rockstar avatars! Children and staff made a fantastic effort!
We also entered NSPCC Rocks, and I am pleased to say Year 4 were the top performing class in our school!
Today in school, the children have been joining in with National Numeracy Day! This is a day to help raise the interest of children in numbers and build confidence with Maths! Some of the activities today have been making a number rap, entering a competition to be a Number Hero and dancing along with Katya Jones and Number Block One!
Today we celebrated NSPCC Number Day! Our children in Early Years came dressed as numbers and were able to do lots of different activities! Our children in Years 1-6 came dressed as rock stars as today they competed in the NSPCC Rocks Times Table Rockstars competition!
We finished as the highest school in the St Francis and St Clare MAC! The class that won the most points was Year 5 – Well done!
We even had numbered biscuits for lunch!
Yesterday, our Year 5 children took part in a national STEM Challenge – Road to RIAT! They used their skills from a variety of curriculum areas: Maths, Science, English, PSHE and Design Technology to compete in a Glider Challenge and then they had to design a sustainable aircraft for the future!
On Wednesday, in partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers Foundation and the PDC, were invited to Aldersley Leisure Village to take part in a maths workshop with darts. The children got to meet professional darts player ‘Alan Souter’ (who has just qualified for the quarter finals in his debut Grand Slam), meet Wolfie, and learn maths in a varitey of ways while learning how to play darts!
A truly wonderful experience, the children will not forget!

The Guinness World Records official attempt number roll
The charity National Numeracy and Times Tables Rock Stars have teamed up for a Rocking and Rolling Numbers live event, to get children across the UK feeling positive and confident about maths.
Number rolling is a catchy call-and-response chant with accompanying actions that help kids feel good about numbers.
At 9.30am today, our children joined the live stream and were part of this brilliant event, and amazingly, they did set a NEW GUINESS WORLD RECORD!!!
