Learning about family

The children in Year 1 and 3 watched some of the programmes from the 'Our Family' series last term in school.  They should be able to tell you lots about Maia and her family, and should remember some words that we have learned  - uncle, auntie, cousin, sister, brother, Mr, Mrs, granny, grandpa - to name a few.  Although these programmes do not have sign language, they do have subtitles and are really fun to watch.  You might want to watch a programme that your child has seen before, and let them tell you all about it.  Then perhaps try a new one, with lots of talking about who is in the family and what they did.  Enjoy!

Here is a link to the BBC programme used in school.
