Downs Syndrome Awareness Day
We are supporting Downs Syndrome Awareness Day on Wednesday 21st March.
All pupils and staff are invited to pay a suggested donation of £1 and wear Lots of Socks or even ODD socks to school.
Lots of socks is a fun initiative in the lead up to Down’s Syndrome Awareness Day on 21st March every year. Why socks? Well, because chromosomes look like socks and people with Down’s syndrome have an extra chromosome! “Lots of Socks” is acknowledged around the world as being associated with Down’s syndrome.
There are lots of different ways that you can do Lots of Socks including sponsored odd socks day, guess whose feet games and sock puppet making! We love to see your pictures for the day as well so be sure to send these in! If you are tweeting them, remember to use the hashtag #lotsofsocks
