Happy Makaton Awareness Day! Makaton Awareness Day aims to promote understanding and use of the Makaton language system. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of Makaton users and highlight the positive impact it has on their lives, helping them communicate more effectively and participate more fully in society. The day is also an opportunity to recognise the efforts of teachers, therapists, families, and other supporters who use Makaton to empower those with communication needs. If you are looking for an event to attend to celebrate the Makaton Awareness Day, we recommend this event at Murton Park which is on today between 10.00am and 4.00pm and is for all ages, there will be something for everyone who is interested in the use of Makaton and inclusive communication. Murton Park is an accessible venue with on-site parking and a cafe 😊 #Makaton #MakatonAwarenessDay #SignLanguage #Inclusivity #Communication

In one weeks' time it's Makaton Awareness Day. There is a fantastic event being held at Murton Park - this is a brilliant opportunity to come together with other members of the community to celebrate Makaton. There will be games, activities, a trail, a raffle, signed singing and story-telling sessions and more. Maybe you would like the opportunity to learn how to do some signs, or maybe you are already a pro in the practice - whatever your knowledge on Makaton, there will be something for everyone! #Makaton #SignLanguage #Communication #Inclusivity #MakatonAwarenessDay #MakatonAwarenessDay2024

The final part of our Yorkshire Olympic Games was a Closing Ceremony that consisted of a Breakfast Of Champions for those who took part! Our Yorkshire Olympic Champs were thrilled to receive breakfast hampers that contained trophies, flags, confetti, and medals, as well as everything they needed for a healthy Olympic Games breakfast party. Massive thanks to Morrisons for their generous donation of croissants! Wishing Well had a great time celebrating their wins, as did the Outer York and Leeds region, who chose to have their Breakfast Of Champions party in a local park as it was such a nice day! 😎 Well done everyone, you certainly are star athletes! 🎉🥇🏆 #TheYorkshireOlympics #Inclusivity #Sports #TheOlympicGames #TheOlympicGames2024 #WWFT #InclusiveSports #ClosingCeremony

Our next Yorkshire Olympics event is Plane Javelin - participants must throw a paper plane, and each participant gets five attempts to throw. The person who throws the plane the longest distance wins. Our individuals had so much fun playing this, the joy they expressed while throwing the planes is clear to see in this short film. Many also enjoyed learning a bit of Origami when creating the planes to throw - making paper planes is a multifaceted activity that engages various cognitive, motor, and social skills. It provides an enjoyable and educational way to stimulate the brain, enhance learning, and develop a range of important abilities. It also promotes problem-solving and critical thinking. Most of our individuals also chose to get creative with this exercise, and decorate their paper plane for the competition, so each of them had a unique and identifiable plane to throw! 😊✈ #TheYorkshireOlympics #Inclusivity #Sports #TheOlympicGames #TheOlympicGames2024 #WWFT #InclusiveSports #PlaneJavelin #PaperPlanes
