• Sign to sing

  Wed 05 Feb 2020
  To launch Children's Mentally Healthy week children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 learnt to sing and sign 'Joining hands today'. We linked with schools across the country to sing and sign to raise awareness of the importance of communicating in different ways. Signing is something which is so important to us as a school and community. Thank you to everyone who donated money to the deaf health charity 'Signhealth'. Our dear friend Fletch who you can check out on You Tube teaches children, choirs and groups how to sign to music!
