Daisy Doggy Supersigners Competition Winner 2012

(June 02, 2012)

Sign2Music has held a Daisy Doggy Supersigner competition since 2010 to celebrate our birthday. Each year parents and carers send in photographs and videos of their little ones signing and the Sign2Music teachers each vote for their winner.

2012 has by far been the most amazing year yet. We have had some super entries. So many fantastic children. We have been humbled this year with the signing experiences we have seen and heard shared. Despite the common perception that children do not do their first sign until 6 - 9 months we have had a number of children sign before this age. We have also had the benefits of signing for early literacy reinforced as we have seen some children sign letters as young as 12 months!

The following children impressed us so much and will receive a Daisy Doggy Supersigner 2012 certificate from their local teacher:

- Noah from Newcastle classes, who at 12 months, was able to sign letters, notably the letters for his sisters names. He also showed us how he can sign BABY in another video.

- Daisy from Bangor for her wonderul and energetic performance of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

- Lucy from North Belfast for showing us lots of animal signs and singing and signing Insy Winsy Spider and Horsey Horsey

- Orlaidh who attends Ballynahinch classes for her signing of her favourite song, Miss Polly had a Dolly. We have loads of videos of Orlaidh signing from she was a little baby. She is a fab signer!

- Ellie from Ballynahinch classes for signing along with Little Daisy Doggy while on a car journey. Her speech was so clear too!

- Caden from Ballynahinch classes for signing MORE and for his fab fingerspelling and singing our alphabet song.

- William from Newcastle classes for signing NAPPY CHANGE. William was one of our early signers this year.

- Ryan from North Belfast for his super fingerspelling and singing our alphabet song

- Ruby from Newcastle classes for signing MORE

- Norah from Whiteabbey who we caught on camera in class signing MUMMY and BATH

- Olivia from North Belfast for signing MILK and BATH

These fab videos can be found on the Supersigners playlist on our You Tube Channel or in the videos tab of our Facebook page

However there can only be one winner. There was a very clear winner..............
