Makaton
Here at Dodleston CE Primary School we love learning and using Makaton!
Makaton is an inclusive language programme that uses signs and symbols to help people to communicate. It is designed to support spoken language and the signs and symbols are used with speech, in spoken word order. We believe that if we learn and use Makaton, and also teach others how to use Makaton, we can help everyone to reach their potential and respect and consider others.
The children at Dodleston are already fantastic Makaton signers! We enjoy using Makaton in school, at home, when we are out and about, and to sign along to songs in Collective Worship! We all learn new signs and symbols in our lessons, taught by Mrs Ryan, as well as in worship.
