Northampton primary school winners enjoy Numberblocks Festive Assembly
A Northampton primary school got into the Christmas spirit after winning a festive assembly visit from the character Three from the hit CBeebies educational show Numberblocks.
The visit was arranged as part of a national competition run by Nottingham-based TTS Group and Learning Resources, where schools were tasked with answering the question “What would be the best gift to give Three this festive season and why?”
Nicola Bradbury, EYFS teacher at Moulton Primary School in Northampton, was chosen as the winner from over 800 entries. Mrs Bradbury shared in her entry that they felt the best gift to give Three would be a Triangle Treasure Box, filled with shiny bells, sparkly triangles and a friendship card from the school. She also shared that their idea celebrates everything Three stands for – shape, song, and sharing.
As the winner, Moulton Primary School received a visit from Three and enjoyed a screening of the Numberblocks episode The Twelve Days of Christmas. The early years children – in what was their first ever school assembly - also got their questions to Three answered in a Q&A session, and were treated to class pictures with the character. The school was also presented with a Learning Resources MathLink Cubes Numberblocks classroom set worth more than £300.
Mrs Bradbury commented: “We were overjoyed to win this prize. Our children love Numberblocks and it was the perfect way to start our festivities with a surprise visit. The resources will be an addition to our maths provision in Early Years.”
Tanya Wilson, Marketing Director at TTS, commented: “It was a pleasure to partner once again with Learning Resources and the Numberblocks brand on this special festive competition.
“We were delighted to hear that the children had a great time meeting Three and getting into the festive spirit with a special Numberblocks Christmas episode!”
Sam Hayhurst, Head of Marketing at Learning Resources said: “We’re delighted to have partnered with TTS and Numberblocks to bring this festive experience to life. At Learning Resources, we believe in making maths fun and engaging, and seeing the joy on the children’s faces as they met Three was a wonderful highlight.
“Competitions like this help inspire a love of learning through play, and we’re delighted that Moulton Primary School could kick off their Christmas celebrations in such a memorable way.”
