Questions in BSL.
In our session at West Park Hospital NRU today Gary taught the group how to sign the questions forms. These are very useful in everyday conversations but can be a little tricky to learn.
Hopefully these photos together with arrows and explanations help ...

The Magic of MC Escher
At West Park Hospital NRU (Neuro Rehabilitation Unit) today the participants made these wonderful geese and fish tessellations based on the work of Dutch artist Maurits Cornelius Escher.
We think they look absolutely amazing.
