A few weeks ago we made our own sock puppets in 2nd class. This week we had a lot of fun (and made a bit of mess :0 ) making theatres for our sock puppets in 2nd class. We used MS Paint to design some backgrounds on the laptops, and then added paper, glue, paint and other decoration to create our own special stages! Afterwards we had a lot of fun making up little shows with our puppets.

We’re excited to share this week’s Lámh Sign – it’s a word we use every day… School!

Learning how to sign “School” is a great way to support communication and inclusion in classrooms, at home, and in the community. Let’s get signing!

👉 How to sign School:

Left Hand (L.H.): Use an ‘l’ handshape, palm facing upwards and diagonally forward in front of your chest.

Right Hand (R.H.): Use an ‘s’ handshape, palm facing sideways.

Movement: Bring your R.H. up to your forehead.

That’s it – you’ve just signed “School”! 👏

💡Tip: Practice the sign a few times slowly, then try it in a sentence like “Going to school” or “I like school”.

Keep an eye out for our next Lámh Sign of the Week – and happy signing! ✋😊

Dear Parents and Guardians,

• Talking about school or classroom routines
• Naming the teacher in stories, songs, or games
• Saying hello or goodbye to the teacher

👏 Thanks for supporting our school’s Lámh journey!

Help your child understand and express patience with this week’s sign!

👉 How to sign “Waiting”:
Both hands in an ‘L’ shape, palms down, fingers sideways.
Place your right forearm on top of your left in front of your chest and move downward.
