This was lovely to do over the Christmas break! Thanks Follow Your Dreams Charity! 💗
We would like to say a big thank you to Nikki for delivering a wonderful session for us. She told the story of "We're going on an Elf hunt" and taught us all the Makaton signs, and then we finished off learning to sing and sign Jingle Bells which was great fun!

My girl has been enjoying her new Makaton book Christmas Time - by Nic Pike Better Communication Bristol & Xander Green. Its learning language relating to time concepts which is something we've been working on at home - so this was great timing for us!
Makaton for Robin
Those who have done training with me will maybe have noticed that I add sound effects to lots of signs! I cant seem to stop myself! 🤣 You can see where I get it from! - My girl! Makaton sign for Robin - tweet tweet!
