Today, Year 1 Ash had a fantastic time celebrating National Numeracy Day! 🔢✨ We explored numbers through fun activities, with a special focus on doubles!

Loxdale are celebrating National Numeracy Day this Wednesday. Across the UK, millions of people of all ages lack confidence when it comes to numbers. But that can change, and a bit of mutual encouragement and support from your community can make a world of difference. That's why this year's theme is: Count on Your Community. Please check out the website for information National Numeracy - Empowering the UK with Numbers
