Cart Mill Christmas Concert 🎶🎄

Today is the day!! It’s Christmas concert time 🎅🎶


The children have been practicing super hard the past few weeks, learning new songs and actions, including a French song and Makaton signs.

All the hard work paid off today, the children had lots fun performing in front of all their family members! What a lovely day filled with Christmas spirit 🎄. Great job, you were all fabulous!

Learning some Makaton at snack time

For learning languages week we have been learning some Makaton at the snack table.

Some of the children recognised Mr Tumble. We discussed that Mr Tumble uses Makaton to communicate. This means he is using his hand to talk. We as discovered that some adults and children might use makaton if they have a hearing loss of if they find it difficult to talk.

We looked at the signs and Fiona help demonstrate them.

The children enjoyed putting it into practice.

Here are some of the signs we have been learning at snack time.

“Hello”

“Eat”

“Drink”

“More”

“Thank you”
