In an earlier post (10th June 2008) we mentioned that we found a special fragment of pottery on the site of the old Open Air School in Buck Wood, Thackley, Bradford. The piece was from an old blue and white plate with the sign-language (finger spelling) alphabet running around the edge.
The children from class 2 at Idle Primary School learned about the finger spelling alphabet and each child signed a letter. The letters spelled out a message – “Greetings from Buck Wood Children!” Angie photographed each child’s hand sign and put them together to make a special concertina book.
Here’s a close-up view of two pages, showing letters ‘n’ and ‘g’ from the word ‘greetings’.
And here’s a picture of our friend Jill Kelly helping Kellan to work out what the message says.
