Music & Makaton 

On 18th August, we were joined by Makaton tutor Alison Cross and musician Caroline Essex for a workshop based around music and sign language. The inspiration behind this was a 19th Century organist at St Helen's Church, Edward Mammatt, who was blind following an accident at the age of 6, but who led a very full and active life, including being church organist for over 40 years.

Here are some of the children and their parents, learning the basics of Makaton sign language.
