Sing and sign provides the opportunity for people to learn visually, verbally and kinesthecally all at the same me. It is very enjoyable for all involved.

She now aends the group weekly. Page 3 Ferring Funders and Friends Anyone for tennis?

Please thank Jordan and Debbie again for me, they did brilliantly, it takes a lot of courage to take a new group acvity the rst few mes.” Terri (Hedgehog House Nursery) Ra approached some local nurseries to see if their children would be interested in learning sing and sign. Last week Jordan and Debbie visited Hedgehog House and taught them the animal signs for Old McDonald! It was a great success and they are going to visit fortnightly. Next me, they are going to teach the signs for the colours, through the Rainbow Song. Jordan and Debbie demonstrate the signs for horse and pig “Will taught us new skills, it was good, like balancing the ball.” Andrew
