HWB: Deaf Awareness

On Friday, one of our confident P6 pupils, along with Miss Douglass (teacher of the deaf), delivered a very interesting lesson on hearing loss.

Throughout this lesson Primary 5/6 participated in 4 different activities that had been planned by our P6 pupil and Miss Douglas over recent weeks. The activities involved spotting different aspects of a noisy classroom and identifying solutions, listening to sound through a hearing aid, lip reading, and a presentation all about different types of hearing loss.

By participating in these activities, the Primary 5/6 pupils were able to develop an awareness of hearing loss and how it impacts different people (specifically the pupil in our class). They also demonstrated empathy through participating in the lip reading task, hearing aid task and asking questions following the PowerPoint presentation.
