In 2026 we are encouraging schools to join us to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day.

​

These packs are suitable for Early Years and Key Stage 1 classes. ​In the future we hope to be able to provide packs for KS2 and beyond, in the meantime, if you would like to encourage your child's KS2 or secondary class to celebrate, we would suggest directing them to the DSUK WDSD lessons plans.

​

Packs are available for your child's class and their sibling's class up to 35 children per order. 

We are not able to provide packs for the whole year group.

​

Copies of all of the materials included in the pack can be seen here for you to read before ordering to ensure that you are comfortable with them being used in class.

​

We are asking for a donation of £8 per pack towards the costs of the materials and postage.

What's included in the pack:

• ​​Letter to teacher

• ​'Rock Your Socks' Postcards

• Discussion guidance sheet for teachers

• 'Abilities in Me - Down Syndrome' book

• Makaton 'Old Macdonald' signing sheet

 

For each child to take home to share with their parents:​

• WDSD leaflet

• Language Creates Reality leaflet

• Mini Haribo pack with 'WDSD' sticker (please check whether your school allows sweets to be given out)
