Sign language

Tuesday 19 May 2015

We used no words this morning, turning instead to our hands for communication. As part of Community Week, we’ve thought about how communities are diverse in terms of different genders, race, age, religion and disabilities. Year 2 really tried to empathise with those who might be deaf or dumb, imagining the difficulties they might face and how these might be overcome. To help us understand, we tried out British Sign Language and, actually, we were pretty good!

Here are some of the things we learnt…

One of our Y2 friends is telling us he has a BIG house.
Sister.

and we learnt some letters too..
