As part of raising awareness of what it might be like to be deaf the otters spent 20 minutes playing and working in silence on Wednesday afternoon! The children did fantastically well and the adults didn’t do too badly either! We have video evidence to prove we can all be silent for that long!
‘Water Aid’ We kicked off our fund raising for ‘Water Aid’ last Friday by having non-uniform (wear something blue) day. We raised over £150. This is a fantastic start and we will carry this on for the last Friday of each month. We will also be rasing funds in other ways watch this newsletter for upcoming events.
