Final call to make it count for children with the NSPCC’s Number Day

The NSPCC is reminding schools in Birmingham , Solihull and Wolverhampton and the Black Country to register for Number Day 2011 and take part in the Worlds Biggest Maths Lesson this Friday (2 December) in aid of the charity’s ChildLine service.

Sponsored by Vosene Kids, Number Day 2011 is a great way to have fun with numbers. Schools can either take part in the World’s Biggest Maths Lesson on Friday, or one of the many other popular fundraising activities such as 'Who wants to be a Mathionnaire'. Alternatively, schools could do something different with digits and come up with their own fundraising event to celebrate numbers on Number Day.

Teachers can still sign up for Number Day 2011 or find out more information by visiting www.nspcc.org.uk/numberday . Once registered, schools will be able to download all the free curriculum based maths resources.

Karen Robinson, NSPCC schools fundraising manager for the West Midlands, said: “Number Day is open to all primary and secondary schools across the UK , and is a fantastic fun way to get children of all ages engaged with maths. We’d love as many schools as possible to get involved. Whether you take part in the NSPCC’s biggest maths lesson, or choose another number crunching activity of your own, as long as your school is doing sums on Number Day you could be involved in helping us raise a record amount for children.”

Schools who register to take part will be entered into an exciting prize draw for the chance to win £1,000 towards maths equipment, kindly donated by Vosene Kids.

Money raised by Number Day 2011 will support ChildLine, the UK ’s free 24-hour helpline for children and young people in danger or distress.
