Don t worry, about a thing.
That was the message, delivered by more than 1000 small hands through sign language, to a Havelock North Primary pupil with Down syndrome on Thursday.
As part of New Zealand Sign Language Week (May 10 to 16) the school s 580 kids learned the Bob Marley classic Three Little Birds in sign.
Principal Nick Reed said for some of their children, sign language is a part of their everyday life.

The school had one student in particular with Down syndrome who communicates through sign – Thursday s performance was for him, Reed said.
