The Year 2 class at Outwood Primary Academy Kirkhamgate have appeared on BBC Radio Leeds this morning.

The children were discussing the importance of sign language having been inspired by the fantastic Rose Ayling-Ellis on Strictly!

This week, the class have put on their Christmas performance, which included their new sign language skills and the children signing the names of all Santa’s reindeers!

A spokesperson for the Outwood Family said:

“We are beyond proud of this truly brilliant children. They have been working so hard on their Christmas show and learning their new, highly important sign language skills, and it’s fantastic their story has been shared far and wide.

“We, along with the children, hope that their story can inspire more people to learn sign language.”
