Listening to the CHILDREN...
"Communication is when you are trying to talk to somebody." - Reggie, age 7
"I cannot wait to see Martine again."
"Flowers are a sign of respect and a form of communication"
- Lila, age 8
"It made me think about how I speak to people without actually talking."
- William, age 8
" I loved making my poster about communication."
-Georgiana, age 7
"It was so fun to learn sign language." Freddie, age 8
"I think that we need to communicate when we are lost and need someone to help us not be lost."
- Jude, age 5
"The sign for 'B' looks like a bumble bee's wings."
- Harley, age 4
"I learnt how to use my hands to communicate."
- Finlay, age 7
"I would like to learn more signs."
- Charlotte, age 8
And the adults:
"The entire session was engaging, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable for all the girls and leaders, too. An older one of our Brownies already knew a little BSL, and she was happy she could share it with her friends. Even our most physically active Brownie listened with intent."
"Martine's enthusiasm and expertise shone through, making the learning experience both fun and memorable. The girls were captivated from start to finish and keen to be involved in the activities, picking up new skills with ease and excitement."
We couldn't have asked for a better session on communication skills and an introduction to sign language. Thank you, Martine, for delivering such a fabulous class!"
"The children also really enjoyed using the little picture cards - these generated so many interesting ideas which would have been very interesting to discuss in more detail - if only we had had more time in the session!"
"This was a really interesting subject for the children to explore and all of the children in the class were genuinely, very keen to investigate the concept of ‘communication.' I thought that the way that you delivered the whole workshop was lively and enthusiastic - the activities were so well thought out and really got all of the children involved and inspired."
"Martine’s session triggered a new passion and motivation for signing in my children."
"Martine made the session fun, interactive and engaging, so the children not only learnt from it, but also enjoyed doing so. In fact, one of my children came out and made a wish upon a star – “to see Martine again”. I would whole heartedly recommend these sessions!”
"My son Oscar is deaf and attends a local nursery where Martine runs a T2TH session. These sessions, which promote the use of our hands and facial expression’s to communicate are amazing. Martine’s passion and enthusiasm for teaching and passing on her knowledge is incredible, and you can see this in how engaged the young children and staff are during these sessions. We could not recommend Martine and T2TH highly enough, they are inspiring. "
"One of the most important parts for me was that it really gave my children an insight into what it means to be deaf and how there are different ways to communicate beyond spoken words."
