Year 4 Week 11 Newsletter:Term 2
20th March 2021
Dear Parent/Guardian,
This week has been pretty busy. The children sat for the End of Term tests which ended on Thursday.
On Friday, we marked Down Syndrome Day. The children wore mismatched socks and participated in a variety of activities that raised their awareness about Down Syndrome.
Why Mismatched Socks?
In 2013, the theme of Wearing Odd Socks was initiated to raise awareness. Over time, it has also been promoted as "Lots of Socks". The idea was created because chromosomes are shaped “like socks” and people with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome.
Picture speak!
