World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated each year on March 21st. This date was chosen because people with Down Syndrome have an extra (third) copy of chromosome 21.
Under a microscope these tiny chromosomes look like litte pairs of colourful socks, so yesterday - in marking the occasion - we wore our brightest, boldest, mismatched socks to school!
The unexpected arrival of the fire brigade just added to the sense of fun!
