Numeracy Week

Last week was all about Numeracy Across Learning in Our Lady’s with a range of activities taking place across the school. As well as highlighting the Numeracy in lessons across subject areas, there were quizzes, competitions and year group events.

S3 ‘Numeracy for Work’ Event – S3 pupils had the opportunity to learn first hand about the work experiences and numeracy content of a wide range of occupations, courtesy of a host of guests – everything from musicians to surgeons! We are so grateful to everyone who came along for giving up their time – the S3 pupils had an amazing, busy, informative afternoon and our guests were blown away by the behaviour, enthusiasm and attitude of our pupils.

S1 ‘Spotlight on Numeracy’ Event – a fun and informative afternoon focussing on ‘Numeracy for Learning’. The S1 pupils participated wholeheartedly! Thanks to the S3 pupils who took charge of the smooth running of the event, and all the staff, teaching and non-teaching, who helped out. We even had Santa turn up (well Christmas isn’t that far away!).

We haven’t forgotten about S2! They will take part in our S2 ‘House Games Olympiad‘, a ‘Numeracy for Life’ event, later this year.
