From Heather Green, Asst. Head Teacher at Liss Junior School, Hampshire:
We began our two-week Communication Triathlon with an opening ceremony at assembly, with banner bearers for Thinking, Talking, and Teamwork. We tried to learn a new word every day and each class completed several of the activities, sharing their favourite one with the rest of the school in our closing ceremony.
At the end, 45 children (including 11 with Moderate Learning Difficulties) signed the song 'Proud' by Heather Small of M People fame – and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! The press came along to take photographs and we even made it on to the front page of the local paper.
If you have children aged between 4-11, their school could benefit from the programme too. You can find out more here and there’s also a short video available to watch online.
