Visit from Guide Dogs for the Blind – P4

Primary 4 have been finding out about the Five Senses.  They had a visit from Guide Dogs for the Blind.  The puppy trainers told the class all about how the dogs are trained and about the difficulties faced by blind people.  Nesta and Isla were as good as gold and all the children were able to clap and pet the dogs.

Ann and Isla demonstrated some of the skills required by a guide dog.

Sign 2 Sing

The whole school took part in the Sign 2 Sing record breaking challenge on Friday 6th Feb. This involved singing a song and signing along with it using British Sign Language. The children really enjoyed learning the song and all the signs and performing it together at assembly. We also raised £91 for SignHealth, a deaf health charity. Thank you to everyone who donated! Now we just need to wait and see if we broke the world record for the most people signing and signing at the same time!
