Waterfoot Primary School

This week, we celebrated International Sign Language Day and had a special assembly to learn more about deaf people and sign language. The children learnt that according to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are approximately 72 million deaf people worldwide. Also, there are over 300 different sign languages and over 70,000 deaf people in the UK have British Sign Language as their first language. A group of children who attended our sign language club, then taught the whole school some sign language to the song 'Sing a Rainbow'! 

This week we began our key stage 2 book prize initiative. This is to encourage and promote the love of reading with our older children. Each week one child in each class are chosen for their commitment and enthusiasm to reading to celebrate their efforts. In our Key Stage 2 assembly every Thursday the winners are announced. This week our first Key Stage 2 book prize winners were Edie, Roman, Freddie, Sarah, Gabriella and Freddie. Well done winners this week! They have chosen a book of their choice from a wide selection of great authors and texts.  Please support our initiative by enjoying reading at home with your child and encouraging your child to read independently too.
