Deaf awareness week

Mrs Street

This week at Broad Heath we have celebrated Deaf Awreness week.

This year the theme is deaf inclusion. This year’s theme highlights how hearing loss impacts daily life and how others can help support deaf people. Being deaf brings unique challenges that not everyone will experience.

How can we support deaf people?

How does deafness effect everyday life?

What have you learnt?

Year 1

Year 1 children learnt how to say their name and letters of the alphabet using sign language.

Year 2

The Year 2 children incorporated Deaf awareness with the themed Blitz day. They pretended to be deafened by a bomb from the Blitz and tried to work out what our partners are saying using lip reading.

Year 3

Year 3 children used non verbal communication and played a game of charades.

Year 4

The Year 4 children looked at what British Sign Language (BSL) is and practise signing some key words and letters.

Year 5

In Year 5, the children learnt top tips to support a deaf friend and created posters. They played games involving missing information, lip reading and working out the meaning of sign language using the letters of the alphabet.

Year 6

Year 6 have looked at the barriers that deaf people may face in society, the importance of an awareness week and how we can help communicate well with those that are deaf. They have also researched different famous people who are/were deaf and created posters and I movies.

    1) We can support deaf people by looking at them while or make sure we do not cover our mouth as we speak as some deaf people can lip read. We can also use sign language or signs to help them.

    2) Deafness can effect everyday life when you want to communicate or listen to someone. It can also be harder to get jobs in the future. For some people to help with this, they get hearing aids or cochlear implants .

    3) I have learnt the alphabet in sign language and learnt how to spell my name in sign language.

    We can support deaf people by learning the top tricks to get their attention.
    Deafness makes it hard to hear or impossible to hear at all.
    I have learnt that deafness can have a big impact on lives as you cannot hear.
