  • Number Day - Friday 2nd February 2024

    Published 25/01/24

    Friday 2nd February is NSPCC Number Day!  Pupils are asked to wear an item of clothing with a number on it (e.g. football shirt, cap, number badges) or get even more creative by dressing in a maths - or numbers - themed outfit (e.g. as a clock).

    To help raise money for the NSPCC we are asking for a suggested donation of £1 for taking part and would really appreciate any extra donations to sponsor the range of activities that the children will take part in on the day. You can donate by visiting the Just Giving page: Tannery Drift First School is fundraising for NSPCC (justgiving.com)
