THE BIG NUMBER NATTER - WEDNESDAY 20TH MAY - 2PM

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are delighted to let you know that, as a school community, we will be celebrating National Numeracy Day this year. Maths and numbers can sometimes evoke strong feelings, both positive and negative. For some, maths brings confidence and enjoyment; for others, it may bring anxiety or difficult memories. We know that classroom experiences can last a lifetime, and we want our school to be a place where every child and adult feels supported in building positive relationships with numbers.

Big Number Natter: Why “Natter” About Numbers?
As part of our celebrations, we will be taking part in the Big Number Natter. Love it or loathe it, everybody has something to say about numbers. Talking with children and adults in our school community about numbers can turn low number confidence from a private struggle into a shared strength. Opening up about how we feel is often the most powerful way to start thinking differently. When we talk honestly about maths, it helps people realise they are not alone and that many others share similar experiences. It can help build confidence with everyday numeracy and normalise learning, showing that it is okay to ask questions and learn at any age. It also gives children the opportunity to talk about numbers in everyday life, not just in maths lessons, and creates opportunities for staff and parents to engage in a different kind of conversation about maths, including parents’ own experiences and feelings.

Please come and join us from 2pm on Wednesday 20th May for the Big Number Natter.
