What a fantastic group from Lee Common C of E school today. They felt a bit rusty on their Level 1 signs at the start, but by the end of the day they could sign confidently with all their Level 1 and new Level 2 signs.
A nice way to end the term with a bit of symbol drawing and some competition games of noughts and crosses.
