Makaton Evening Classes
We will be holding evening classes in Makaton from Wednesday 10^th October between 6.30 – 7.30 at Two Boats School.

Makaton is a language programme, using signs from British Sign Language, to help children and adults with learning difficulties, and their families and friends to communicate.  We are using Makaton in one of our classes at school.

This term we will learn signs about families, home and food and drink, plus how to finger spell our names.

Everyone is welcome to join in.

Jeans for Genes Day

Please see the additional page about this.  This year it is on October 5^th and it would be great if organisations joined in again to raise money.  We have bought some zip pulls to sell to the children for £1 which will go to the charity fund.

We invite all organisations to join us – last year we all raised a total of £334 and look forward to beating that this year.

Visitors to School

Can I remind all visitors to school that they should use the top car park and not the staff car park.  For Health and Safety reasons visitors are asked to report to the main school office to sign in and then sign out when they leave.

Finally, many thanks to the police for their support in slowing down vehicles driving past the school grounds.  Thank you also to drivers for slowing down.  It is very much appreciated.

Many thanks.
