dsOK are delighted to announce that another of our value Education Days has been arranged for Saturday 13th November 2010 in Suttton. Please encourage your child's teachers and supporters to keep the date and do their best to attend.
We have booked for the day Sandy Alton and Bob Black, both experts on teaching pupil's with Down's Syndrome, as well a specialist from West Hill school in Leatherhead in teaching science to young people with special needs.
Sandy Alton will briefly recap on the learning profile of those with Down's Syndrome and offer guidance on accessing the curriculum as well as on teaching both reading and writing. Bob Black's speciality for many years is ensuring pupils with Down's Syndrome maximise their skills in ICT. West Hill at Leatherhead is a specialist science school where Mr. Andy Macfarlane makes science accessible for all.
The charge for the day is only £20 per attendee as dsOK subsidises the costs - and serves an excellent buffet lunch!
A full programme will be available on the website in September. |

You may have noticed in the latest dsOK newsletter (no. 25) an article relating to easy2name and their range of naming labels. Unfortunately, we did not have a sufficient quantity of order forms to include one in every newsletter, but you can place an order online and easy2name will still donate a commission to us.
When you proceed to the checkout, just select "DOWN SYNDROME OK KT4" as the Fundraising Group, and 20% of the order value will be donated to Downsyndrome OK. |
