Makaton Amen

If your children attend  one of our schools, they may have come home yesterday with their thumbs in the air - you can blame the Rector. Alan taught the children in both schools, to sign 'Amen' instead of saying it aloud. He has found that the children in previous schools he has visited, liked to do this - thumbs up and bring them in together. The idea is to try to sign it without saying 'Amen' out loud - this was something the children in the lower school found quite difficult - but Alan will  work on this!
