Sign Language Club: A Festive Celebration of Learning

Over the past three weeks, the Sign Language Club has been working hard to master two festive Christmas songs in sign language. We put our multi-tasking skills to the test by signing and singing simultaneously, a fun and challenging way to enhance our communication skills.

This week, the children had the opportunity to perform these songs in front of an audience. They did an exceptional job, showcasing everything they’ve learned so far.

After the performance, the children enjoyed teaching their audience a few useful signs, including thank you, reindeer, and Merry Christmas. It was a lovely way to spread some festive cheer and share the joy of signing with others.

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Sign Language Club!
