As a school we have decided, once again, to take part in Sign2Sing. This is a World Record breaking attempt for the most people signing, in British Sign Language, the same song at the same time.
The attempt will be on Wednesday 8th February 2012 at 2:45pm.
We think this is a terrific initiative which will teach the children a new and valuable skill as well as raising awareness of deaf issues.
SignHealth, who are a national charity, dedicated to improving healthcare and achieving equal access for deaf people, are behind the event. They are hoping to raise some much needed funds to enable them to continue their valuable work. To achieve this they are asking for a suggested voluntary donation of £1.00 per child taking part. They do , however , want this to be as inclusive as possible, so any donation, however small, would be greatly appreciated. All Swalwell children will be allowed to participate whether a donation is received or not.
