Number Day 2014

On Friday 24th January the whole school celebrated Number Day, in aid of the NSPCC.

The children dressed up in anything with a mathematical theme and were treated to lots of activities related to numbers and maths.  The children had a fantastic day and gave lots of positive feedback about how much they had enjoyed it.  Hopefully, it'll become an annual feature in Christ Church's calendar.





Horowitz class spent a riotous morning inventing machines that threw paper.  As well as using their 'trial and improvement' skills, they had plenty of practice in measuring and working out the average distance their paper ball travelled. 


Emily, Annabelle, Lottie and Freya's machine threw a ball of paper the furthest: over 10 metres.

I was particularly impressed by the way that all the children co-operated with each other as there were no disagreements!  The only down-side was spending half an hour of lunchtime hoovering up the little bits of polystyrene that covered the entire classroom floor!!!


A big "thank you" to all the children and parents/carers for supporting Number Day and making it so successful and to the Christ Church staff for all their hard work in turning maths into a subject that children enjoy learning about.
