Friday 15th March 2019 is Comic Relief aka #RedNoseDay so we were delighted to be asked to create a video for Comic Relief Schools. Here’s our Makaton-signed version of the ‘Put a Nose on It!’ song by Out of the Ark Music. Warning! It’s a huge #earworm!!
Incase you haven’t seen them already, there are other Makaton resources available too on the nurseries page – check out these Mr Tumble resources: COMIC RELIEF DOWNLOADS
You can find the lyrics, the link to this YouTube version of the song and the mp3 if your school would like to take part and sign along: PUT A NOSE ON IT LYRICS
The Makaton Charity have also created this handy symbol and line drawing downloadable resource: PUT A NOSE ON IT DOWNLOAD
Happy signing and…….don’t forget to PUT A NOSE ON IT!
With thanks to Zanna and Tracy Clark at The Makaton Charity and Tony Marriner at TidelineTV for helping us produce this video. Here is the sign transcription:
