So far, we have shared the following signs with you – see previous posts:

The new signs for this week are the alphabet finger spelling signs – this is a fundamental sign in BSL and if you know the finger spelling then you can communicate at a simple level with a deaf person through spelling out the words.
also we have added a video to share the days of the week signs too.
We have a very close link with the Speech and Language Therapy (SLT)service here at the School and they share top tips on their social media platforms. I will highlight these as a when appropriate.
If you have ANY concerns regarding your child’s speech and language, please do not hesitate to contact the team – see contact details below: –
Please see below the top tips recently shared by the SLT recently – please make use of these if appropriate for your child.
Mrs Clapperton took our community group to Afton Court on Monday 6th February. They were given the very important job of painting fairy doors for Kilmarnock Fire Station Fairy Garden. They did a great job along with the residents of Afton Court and can’t wait to visit the garden once it a complete. We’re hoping to plan a games afternoon with Afton Court very soon!
This week we will be celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week. Mrs McMurdo will be speaking to us about it in Get2gether on Monday morning. The theme for the week is Let’s Connect. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. Human beings thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing. And when our need for rewarding social connections is not met, we can sometimes feel isolated and lonely – which can have a negative impact on our mental health.
