Makaton

We are starting to use Makaton sign's on a more regular basis to back up speech which we hope will be particularly helpful to the younger children. We hope to introduce a few basic words each week.

To start the process off here are the signs for Hello, Goodbye, Please and Thank you ....

If you would like to use some of these signs at home that will be really helpful. We will let you know next week what the new signs are.

When the children do something that helpful, kind or considerate then we like to celebrate this by adding them to our shining stars board.

Here are a few examples of some shining stars from last term ...

In addition to the star that we put onto the board a copy is made that then goes onto a crown that the child can wear if they wish and take home to share with their family.

Hairy Maclary

Here's a book that is a big favourite with the children and staff come to that ...
