1 Newsletter for families of deaf children Christmas edition 2015 #3 Hi everyone and welcome to the third newsletter for deaf children and their families! May I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas. This term has been as busy as ever with new additions to the ARPs and to the mainstream and pre-school caseloads. All the news is inside so read on! 1
2 Now the news Remark Community. Remark is the organisation run by deaf people on behalf of deaf youngsters. They have been our partners in several ventures over the years, designed to bring deaf children together, and to meet deaf adults. Some of our friends from Remark Community have moved on to other things either within the organisation or outside it. Jonny Nelson has moved to a different job within Remark, Davod Jarchlou has left to pursue his career elsewhere. Jess has gone walkabout and is exploring the world for a year. Let s hope she comes back to us at the end of that time! Our contact at Remark Community is now Andrew Tobin, and we look forward to working with him. The winter KIT day If you would like your child to meet other deaf children and deaf adults, at our next KIT day, please read about our proposed winter day (below). This, our next big get-together for deaf children will be on the 20th of January in Barking, (this is a change to the date advertised in the previous newsletter.) If you would like your deaf child to come along please fill in the application form at the end of the newsletter. In December last year, SportInspired helped us to put on, with Remark, a wonderful sports day for deaf children along with children with a disability - in the sports centre in Mayesbrook Park. SportInspired and Remark will once again be supporting us and we hope to break last year s record figure of fifty deaf youngsters from all over north-east London. Below are some pictures of last years Big KIT day. If your child is in year 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 please fill in the enclosed application form at the end of this newsletter, and they will be very welcome to come along. The session is free, but children will need to bring a packed lunch. 2
3 Here are some pictures of last year s event; Other news Miss Lynn Wager has started her work as outreach teacher of the Deaf. Lynn is a qualified and experienced teacher of the Deaf, and while she is missing the children she used to teach at Five Elms, she is enjoying meeting new children, and supporting their progress in their mainstream schools. Paul Robinson, inclusion adviser for deaf children will still be working for the borough supporting Lynn, but also delivering audiology 3
4 support to the ARPs and overseeing deaf children s progress across the borough. Children s Hearing Services Working Group (CHSWG) Date for your diary! Please come along to the next meeting of the Children s Hearing Services Working group or CHSWG. The next meeting is to be at 1.30 p.m. at Eastbury Primary School on Wednesday the 3 rd of February. The agenda, as always will be designed to improve communications between families, hearing clinic and education. Your input is essential. At the meeting will be teachers of the Deaf from Havering as well as Barking and Dagenham; Speech and Language therapists, the consultant and audiologists from the hearing clinic, a representative from the National Deaf Children s Society but chiefly, yourselves. The Play and Communication group for Deaf children. Can I remind families with pre-school deaf children of this group please? 4
5 The group provides an opportunity for pre-school deaf children to meet and play with other deaf youngsters. It also gives parents an opportunity to meet other parents who have a deaf child in order to share their experiences and support each other. 5
6 The group is informal and the children can select and play with a range of activities designed and prepared to support the development of play and communication skills. Children also have the opportunity to explore and play outside. Parents are responsible for their child s safety and tend to multi-task by interacting with their child while talking to other parents. The parents and children follow a visual routine and help with tidying away the toys. We finish the group with a singing session using puppets and musical instruments. 6
7 The group is led by Tracey Boatright (Early years Teacher of the Deaf). We meet at The Heathway Children s Centre on the first Wednesday of the month from More news: Eastbury Primary ARP Eastbury Primary ARP had a visit from Lynda Holland of the National Deaf Children s Society. Lynda was asked to support a request from Margaret Hodge MP to visit and evaluate the resource base for deaf children at the school. This was with reference to assisting the resource 7
8 base to build on existing work and to evaluate the way they have developed and promoted sign language within the mainstream school Here are some of her comments: She: found evidence of great enthusiasm and innovation in the practice of the ARP under its manager Majella Williams. She praised the vision of a deaf-friendly school which was also sign-language friendly. She also found that: The school has embraced the use of sign language. It has whole-school signing/singing assemblies, staff training, after-school clubs for pupils, and focused training in classes where a deaf child is included. There are video tutorials on the school website for staff and parents. Children in the school use over 50 languages and this is one language that links them. And she noted that: Everyone I spoke to in the school was very positive about the initiatives that have been developed: I like it, it helps. The children in my class ask me questions in sign. I teach signs in the singing assembly. (Deaf pupil) It s good, it helps me to communicate with the deaf children, sometimes in the playground I help the dinner staff to interpret what s being said. Most children like it, some don t. It helps make friendships. If we didn't have it, it wouldn't be so good. (Hearing pupil) The signing assemblies are so good, the teachers and children love it. The deaf children feel more included; staff can now sign to pupils and understand what s being signed back. (Mainstream teacher) 8
