• National Deaf Children's Society Roadshow Visits St. Joseph's

  Mon 07 Oct 2019

  On Friday 4th October we received a visit from the National Deaf Children’s Society Roadshow. The Roadshow is a mobile classroom which travels all over the UK supporting schools, local communities and youth groups to understand more about deafness, how it affects communication and the things we can all do to support deaf children and young people.

   

  On this visit to our school the National Deaf Children’s Society staff delivered fun and engaging presentations and workshops to our Year 4 pupils and Mrs Matthews’ Year 5 pupils.  These focused on the latest technology, ways to communicate and even gave children the chance to try a bit of Sign Language.

   

  If you would like any further information about the Roadshow bus or The National Deaf Children’s Society, please get in touch with their helpline via the contact details below.
