Pupils sign up for bid to break record
CHILDREN at Austen Farm Primary School took part in a Sign2Sing world record attempt.
Around 250 children from all Year groups in the school performed a special song in vocals and sign language for a simultaneous world record attempt in unison with other schools across the UK. The event was in aid of the SignHealth charity which helps vulnerable deaf children and adults.

Caroline White, a teacher at Austen Farm Primary School, said: "The children were very keen about the attempt and raising awareness of SignHealth.
" They worked very hard to learn sign language and it was a great experience for them."

“Does no-one from thisisplymouth.com proof read or preview the page they are posting? Why on earth is that picture on the side? happens at least once every article, some problem or other. Very unprofessional, they have no pride in their work.
In regards to the story, good on them.”
