Lots of Socks - World Down Syndrome Day
On Friday 16th March 2018 we held a LOTS OF SOCKS day in school to raise awareness on World Down Syndrome Day. People all over the world wore non-matching socks for World Down’s syndrome day.
This is to show that people with Down’s syndrome are different but the same!
None of us like feeling left out, people with Down’s syndrome are no exception. They want to be included, so reach out and get to know the person, not the condition.
Children wore an odd pair of socks which may have had a different pattern or colour but could still be worn together quite happily if we change our attitudes about having to wear matching socks.
So by wearing non-matching socks, we were reminded that the way we think, is really important and makes a difference to whether people with Down's Syndrome feel included or not.
Our school raised £115.07 which will be donated to Stepping Stones DS based in Fleet - our local support group.
