We have a stall at Winton Primary School’s Summer Fayre this afternoon, please do pop by and say hi 👋

We have a great line up of external stallholders who will be attending our fayre on Friday. Do pop along to their stalls and see what they have on offer 👍

We also have the fire engine due in from 3pm (please avoid parking down Oswald Close as it is needed for access), inflatable & ride and an ice cream van on the field.

A huge thank you to everyone who has pre ordered tokens - these will be delivered to classrooms on Friday. Thanks to those who have purchased tokens this week after school - there's one more chance tomorrow from 3pm in the playground to purchase before the fayre. There will be a token stall at the fayre but pre purchasing ensures you miss the queue and can start playing the games straight away 😀

Today, the lovely Caz came to Pre-School to talk to the children about Deaf Awareness Week. The children thoroughly enjoyed listening and talking about all kinds of hearing aids, and how we can support deaf people. These conversations continued all afternoon with lots of thought provoking questions being asked. Thank You Caz ❤👂❤

It’s Deaf Awareness Week! 🙌

This year’s theme is Love and Trust, and is an opportunity for deaf children and young people to celebrate their deafness, and for everyone to make a commitment to improving their deaf awareness.

We know that with love, trust, and the right support from the start, deaf children can achieve anything they set their minds to.

Share the love this week by...

✔️ Sharing our deaf awareness week e-learning and resources
✔️ Sharing your best deaf awareness tips
✔️ Sharing our social media posts and activity

We’ve got an amazing week of content coming up, so follow us for updates throughout the week.

For more details, head over to our website on how you can become more deaf aware. 👇
