Deaf awareness week assemly

Today the classes all fed back to each other all the information we have learnt this week about deafness.

NDCS healthy body and mind

We learnt about things to make us happy and healthy. It's OK to have things like chocolate or McDonald's that we enjoy as long as we don't only have them. We need to enjoy both outdoor and indoor activities to keep us happy and healthy.

NDCS online safety

We learnt about how to keep safe online. We talked about keeping our private information secret and about not sharing photos we would feel embraced about if others saw them. We learnt we can say NO when we don't want our picture taken of feel uncomfortable.

NDCS listening bus

Today we had a visit from the NDCS. We learnt about some of the new technology we can use to help us. We likes the vibrating alarm and the different headphones to help us listen to music.
