We are very proud of our senior pupil Emily who was recognised this year for her resilience, successes and achievements to be awarded the West of Scotland Deaf Children’s Society Frances Dolan Endeavour Award, 2023. Well done Emily!
We had a great time creating a sign language Advent Calendar to share with our school community. Here is a sample of what was behind number 24. Merry Christmas!
January Update
We have had a successful start to 2024 with our experiential visits to our local area, regular visits to Dreghorn Library and Irvine Central Library where some of our friends live. We travelled on the local bus and had the opportunity to communicate with the bus driver to obtain a ticket, the librarians to convey a message and meet with the general public. We also visited Seagate Castle and made links with the castle to Seagate House within our school. The children are excited to learn about other castles related to the school house that they belong to.
Burns’ time of year had the children learning their Scots poem and reciting it for their class peers. We also welcomed Kat from the Ayrshire Deaf Education Service who is a native BSL user and will visit us on a weekly basis. She is a fundamental key to support the development of linguistics, story-telling and comprehension, along with conversational skills. In addition, this will improve our communication skills, self-confidence, aspirations, self-advocacy skills and positive Deaf identity as Kat offers support from a place of shared understanding and life experience. Strengthening socioemotional skills, self-determination and will support the exploration of aspirational goals.
