Last week, we were excited to gather together again to enjoy our whole school assemblies. It was a joy to see and hear the children singing and signing together. What a super job they made too!

Our Makaton signs of the week reflected recent events celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Can the children show you how to sign Queen, 70, Platinum, Celebration?

If they need a little reminder, take a look at the video link below, where Lucinda and her Mum share those signs with you. Happy signing!

This week, the children have been learning to sign how they are feeling, practising the Makaton signs for happy, sad, angry or excited. Take a look at how to sign these below. Can you sign the whole phrase: I feel happy?

We would like to share the following information about an informative training course, ran by Autism Bedfordshire. If you know of anyone who may find this course of help or interest, please feel free to pass on the details. 

If you have any questions relating to special educational needs, or feel that you would like signposting to additional support or advice for your child and your family, please do speak to your child's class teacher or contact Mrs Keane, our SENDCo, directly at send@mauldenlower.com. Thank you.
