Signing Choir Dates

Sign Language (Signing Choir)

In the signing choir, children will learn a variety of songs and the accompanying British Sign Language.

Reception children are used to seeing and using sign language in the classrooms and in school assemblies, while many of the year 1 and 2 children were involved in the signing choir last year. It is open to any age group and there is no limit on numbers.

Signing choir provides a fun opportunity to learn songs and raise awareness of sign language and hearing impairment within the community.
