Chalfont St Peter pupils sign and sing to help deaf children

A local school is learning to sing with sign language in a bid to raise money to help vulnerable deaf children in the UK and Uganda. Chalfont St Peter Church of England Academy is taking part in sign2sing, a fundraising event organised by Beaconsfield-based Deaf Health Charity SignHealth.12

The school received a special visit from Deaf Pop Star Fletch, who taught Year 5 children the song and signs.   The children will now be passing on their new skills to fellow pupils in preparation for sign2sing, which takes place between 1-7 February.

Headteacher, Elizabeth Underwood said: โ€œThe children were really excited to meet Fletch and picked up the song and signs really quickly.  With the help of the Year 5 pupils and the wonderful resources provided by sign2sing, the other children at the school should soon be just as good.โ€

Added Mrs Underwood: โ€œThe school has taken part in sign2sing in previous years so we know that it is a fun way to raise funds for a really important cause. The children really enjoy getting involved, you can see their confidence grow as they learn the song and signs.โ€

There is still time for schools, businesses, choirs and community groups to take part in sign2sing.  You donโ€™t need to be an expert signer or an excellent singer as all the resources needed to take part are available if you register, including backing tracks and video tutorial.
