We are really excited about the introduction of Makaton in Nursery. We will learn signs for greetings and words that we use every day. Makaton signs will be part of our daily communication.
"Makaton is a language programme using signs and symbols to help people to communicate. It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech, in spoken word order." (Let's Talk Makaton)
