February 6, 2017

On Friday 3rd February 2017, pupils and teachers at Cornelius Vermuyden School made it count for children by celebrating the NSPCC’s Number Day!

We ‘Dressed Up For Digits’ and pupils took part in inter-house mathematics competition by going head to head in fun and engaging math’s activities including ‘The Marshmallow Challenge’ and ‘Number Hunt’.

Here are some of the comments from our pupils;

“we had good fun and managed to work well with people we don’t normally talk to” - Chloe Westerberg

“we all worked as a team and helped each other out” - Katie Rose

Results

1st - Hera and Einstein

3rd – Darwin

4th – Zeus

5th - Athena

By taking part in Number Day 2017, Cornelius Vermuyden School helped the NSPCC raise a total of £1476.

This vital funds will help the NSPCC to protect children and prevent abuse through its projects and services, including Child line – the UK’s free, confidential 24-hour helpline and online service for children and young people – and Speak Out Stay Safe, which sees trained volunteers visiting every primary school in every community across the UK, to talk to children about abuse and where to get help if they need it.

Number day was a brilliant way to raise money for the NSPCC as it allowed us to support a worthwhile cause while having fun with math’s to support children’s education. It was exciting to see the creative ideas our pupils and teachers had in celebrating this year’s event and we are counting down to next year’s event.
