Makaton - Mr Blue Sky - Singing Hands

#Makaton #LockDownLearning
A joyful song to bring us all together. Featuring over 50 Makaton tutors across the UK, this video of ELO's Mr Blue Sky is to celebrate how unifying it is to be able to communicate with each other and how important signing is to so many people.

It also marks a huge change for us both at Singing Hands where we've had to transition from running face-to-face training, large scale and events and concerts to running everything online.



Likewise, for the Makaton Charity, which has lost its main source of income (ie. training) they have also had to rapidly adapt in order to make their training available online.



We hope this song makes you feel happy and want to dance around doing air guitar!
