British Sign Language

By Chestnut Class, in Year 1 - Thursday, 18 May 2023

Yesterday we had an exciting visitor come to see us. He explained that he is deaf, which means he can't hear. He came to teach us lots of different British Sign Language signs. First we learned different types of weather including snow, rain and sun. We loved finding out how to sign when it is raining really hard! We learned how to make the sign for the moon and stars which we hope we will use in our topic of Space. Then we had a go at signing lots of different animals, such as dog, sheep, tiger and giraffe. Finally we learned the colours and sang and signed the song 'Sing a Rainbow'. We felt we learned so much today, not just about sign language but also about people with different abilities and how they live and communicate. We loved learning about sign language!
