As part of our Day 2 for Transition, we explored BSL and Deaf Awareness. To inspire us, we watched Mr. Chandler’s BBC retelling of the story “The Enormous Turnip”. This story was accompanied by an orchestra so in 1C we created our own! The children learned he song and tried out different types of instruments.
The children then split into mini-crews to sequence pictures from the story. They worked very well as a team!
We then were visited by Mrs. Anderson from the Deaf School and she talked us through her experience of being Deaf. She also gave us some very helpful pointers on how to successfully communicate with hearing impaired people and we learned some BSL.
