Children from Alexandra Park primary school marked Deaf Awareness Week last week.
The children at the school were introduced to sign language during an assembly.
In classes they discussed how it felt to be deaf and looked at some of the challenges.
The children were already a little aware of sign language following successful performances from Y3 of poetry using sign language and the inclusion of sign language in their songs during the annual Singing Square (a singing event where the whole school learns music to share).
PSHE Leader Samantha Nicholson-Hickling said: It s so important the children learn about different languages.
