Lovely event yesterday at Colchester zoo. Great pics sent by RAD who we worked with to produce these colourful animal sign posters for the event that will be staying in situ.

Sign of the week: 'Sad'
When a young child is overwhelmed with emotion, he often finds it difficult to communicate how he feels. A simple sign that he can use enables you to address the issue and comfort him. #earlyyears #vocabulary #wordgap graphic by @DeafBooks

Sign of the week- this time from our Sign 4 Writing programme. 'DECIDE'. One of the many wonderful signed words we use to help make children's writing more colorful and exciting. Teachers report a marked improvement in vocabulary after using our programmes. @DeafBooks

Dear Zoo is one of our favorite books- we were just teaching this to 3 year olds (mostly with English as a second language) today. This little lad is 2 1/2, but see how he enjoys telling the story, although he can't speak yet! #wordgap #earlyyears goo.gl/aiTTf7
