Schools put down pens to focus on speaking and listening
21 Sep 2011
Hello is calling on every school to take part in its landmark event, No Pens Day Wednesday on 28 September.
The Hello campaign's September theme is 'Back to school'. Schools will spend one day putting down their pens and focusing on speaking and listening. No Pens Day Wednesday is backed by Jean Gross, the Government's Communication Champion for Children, and other curriculum experts including Sir Jim Rose, Andrew Pollard, Mick Waters and Robin Alexander.
If the 28 September doesn't work for you, pick another day that suits. Sign up now to take part and you could win up to £1,500 of resources for your school.
