National Numeracy Virtual Workshop 

As you may be aware, the school is working with the charity National Numeracy to encourage families to do maths together.

We know that maths can sometimes seem daunting, but engaging positively with children’s learning can make a big difference to both children’s and parents’ confidence with numbers.

Therefore, we are inviting all parents to a unique workshop run by National Numeracy which will be held virtually on Monday 9^th May, 1.30pm – 2.30pm.  Click the link below to access the meeting.

Meeting ID: 898 7750 4363

Passcode: 808848

You can access this meeting at home.  Alternatively, you can access the meeting in school, where we will set up the virtual meeting in the numeracy room. If attending at school, please email lynsey.cowie@eastayrshire.org.uk or contact the school office on (01292) 591291, to confirm attendance.  This will ensure adequate seating for this event.

The workshop is not a maths lesson, nor does it teach any maths, but is focused on fostering positive attitudes towards numeracy and tips for ensuring your children develop these too.

The session will cover the importance of maths in the real world, being positive about maths and how to boost your own number skills.

We would be delighted to welcome you to the session.

Thanks,

Mrs Cowie
