The Hearing Support department welcomed 18 deaf children from Jubilee School for an Easter egg hunt and a sign and story session in the library. The event was planned by Michael Bullen and organised by Year 8 student Shanade who was also responsible for meeting and greeting our visitors on arrival. Before the event, Adam, Awa, Shanade and Shai-Anne had hidden chocolate eggs in the garden, which with the sun shining, the trees in blossom, and the daffodils in full bloom looked beautiful. Once Shanade had carefully explained the rules of the game the hunt began, and it wasn’t long before all the eggs had been found, some of which had to be eaten straight away before they melted in the unseasonably warm sun! Shanade then led us up to the library where Ms Hunter signed the story Easter Bunny comes to Easter Island. It was lovely to see the Jubilee students so attentive and engaged in the story. After juice and biscuits we said goodbye to our guests. The event was a great success and a fun way to forge important links between the two schools.
