Deaf drama at Hilton Special School (for the little ones)

Here are some photos of me with the little ones - deaf children at Hilton Special School. We had lots of fun playing drama games. This was a new experience for them as they have never played drama games before. Lots of laughs especially when we played 'duck, duck, goose!' - we sat in a circle & tapped each other on the heads & sometimes tapped twice to chase each other around the circle.

After this, I finalised my deaf awareness training for staff at Hilton Special School & discussed ways teachers can provided better support for deaf children for when they go on to highschool - Gospel Highschool.

*** Something funny for you to know - the teachers of this school said they have a problem! They can't use any of their computers because some of the children sneaked into the computer lab room yesterday & took the balls out of 'all' the mouses - for the computers - including the new box of mouses! These children like to use the balls to play marbles! (How clever & resourceful are these children! Ha! But not so good for the teachers or their school finances or for other students who may want to use the computers!)

Finally, at the end of my visit to this school, my interpreter & I had to make a quick run - by taxi - to get back to Gospel Primary School for the Deaf to get students ready for their show - in front of an audience! Busy time, wailei (tired from hectic schedule) & rather hungry as I havent had much time to eat this week!
