Crew Ali have been expressing themselves in sign language recently, when Cerys taught us the British Sign Language alphabet in Student-Led Crew. We learnt how to sign each letter, practiced and practiced again, then took it in turns to spell out names of Crew members and had to guess who was being named. Taylor, Caiden and Marshall all successfully signed the names of some of their fellow Crew members before we moved on to learning numbers and practiced telling the Crew our ages (including Mrs Townson’s age – we share a lot in Crew!)
A Friday session involved using scrabble letters to create words which would stretch us and add to our vocabularies. We worked in mixed teams and swapped over after each round to ensure we worked with different people. In each round we had a time limit to create the longest words we could with the limited letters available on our table. Each team had to check their spellings and really think about how they could extend their words as far as possible.
I – N – D – E – P – E – N – D – E – N – T – L – Y was a clear winner but I have to say well done to the team who came up with T – O – W – N – S – O – N !
