Our British Sign Language club only started in September, but is already proving popular. It runs on a Tuesday afternoon for students in Year 9 and above. Year 9 pupils, Zoe Braine and Naomi Okonkwo, tell us more.
Q: What made you choose your activity and how long have you been doing it?
Zoe: My friends did it during Michaelmas Term and really enjoyed it, so I decided to join at the beginning of this term.
Naomi: I chose BSL because I wanted to learn a new language and be able to communicate with deaf people.
Q. What do you do each week?
Zoe: Every week we learn new word groups such as foods, colours, and animals.
Naomi: We recap what we have done so far and learn a new topic.
Q. What do you enjoy most about it?
Zoe: I enjoy learning sign language because it’s a fun and interesting activity.
Naomi: My favourite thing has been doing it with my friends and learning new ways to communicate with them.
Q. Why should someone choose to do British Sign Language as a club?
Naomi: People should choose BSL because it is a chance to learn a new language and enjoyable to learn with your friends.
