As part of our Numeracy and Literacy Initiative for this year we went on a walk around Bandon to see how numbers are incorporated into our everyday lives. The walk was a great success and we found that everywhere there are numbers, for example:
- Speed limits
- Lottery numbers
- Rod signs and numbers
- Electricity poles
- House and street numbers
- Opening and closing times
- Phone numbers
- Prices, sale prices and percentage reductions
- Monument dates
- Establishment dates
- River height lines
- Menu prices
- Post box times
- Parking ticket machine
- Siler and gold measured in carat
- Burials and deaths on grave stones
- Water manholes
- Tax, insurance and NCT on vehicles
After the pupils had their lunch at the skateboard park, they played basketball and went on the outdoor exercise equipment.
