hi everyone so today I want to talk about Cbeebies program something special
which I will be honest is one of the most amazing programs on British
television right now CBeebies is fantastic a catering to a wide C wide
variety of children and children from different countries different cultures
and something special caters for show them with and sort of learn difficulties
special needs and communication difficulties and something specs is one
of those programs but what they do with this which the which other channels
don't necessarily do which i think is great
great for CVB's they they do in a way the other children can relate to it as
well something special the main point of something special is to teach children
sign language Justin Fletcher teaches the sign language which i think is
absolutely fantastic and the children watching it can can relate to this
because of course it's the children watching it or death they long to be
able to relate to what the sign language is and if they perhaps haven't learned
sign language yet it can kind of help you and kind of make them feel more
comfortable I guess but the children wants to know at home let's say I met a
five-year-old child because it's quite believable let's say I'm sitting
watching CBeebies and he will he'll say a sentence and then at the end he'll
sentence or one of the words and just one of the words in the sentence he will
do the hand action for and but there's a song in the beginning which starts hello
hello how do you do hello hello it's good to
be cure so something like that I can't remember every episode starts with this
hello song in every word in the Hello song has a different conduction in
bousley hello this last and and I think that repetition there and every episode
does get could mean that you're watching and children watching it can join him
with every single action it's almost like you're synchronizing a dance
routine and asked quite a good sense of accomplishment and then children can go
out into the wide world and and start to use these little bits of
language and that is obviously going to benefit the children not just the
children who are deaf who can't deafened up we can't communicate that way but a
loss of healthy children around them so if there is a deaf and dumb child or
just a child who can't speak in their classroom they can then wanna
communicate obviously it's not going to be make a chocolate fluent in sign
language but it definitely is going to help not only and it is brilliant fun as
well because you get used to it you can start to it has cleared finite you know
lots of them but I haven't seen the program in quite a while
apart from recapping just now of course but he also have mr. tumblr and home
humble family and and mr. tumble himself is a character with communication
difficulties and learning difficulties and he's an adult character which first
of all I think is fantastic because it does make children feel like they're not
singled out as much you know if they see an adult you know are also so many
children look up to if they see an adult who is in a similar situation as them I
think that's going to be really beneficial for them as well mr. tumblr
is a very happy character he's a very lovely character he's bright and
colorful and he will help and I think just bringing up the ACMA extra
calculated grade and the tunngle family are played by Justin Fletcher of course
I just think it's absolutely sensational this program is so inspirational it's
great not just for its target audience of the children with learning
difficulties and those who could benefit in their own life from sign language but
great for everybody else watching it's great for adults as well you know I'm 20
I don't know sign language that could be a point in my life where I will have to
communicate with somebody or will choose to communicate with somebody who can
only communicate through sign language and nowadays with their eyes and
technology that's becoming knob slate but sign language is not it I believe
this isn't a fact but I believe sign language is becoming a less form of
communication what it perhaps would have been many many many years ago you know
but it is very beneficial even if you just know little bits it's going to be
great if you've never seen it do check it out it is sensational just makes you
feel really lovely and sliding on that if there are programs out there like
this and I think it's absolutely fantastic credit to CBeebies for putting
this out there it's phenomenal it's warm and fuzzy and makes you feel great it's
not part maizing in any way I personally wouldn't think and it's just sensational
come check it out there are clips on YouTube it will be on BBC iPlayer and
it's also on CBeebies channel let me know your thoughts and I'll see you all
next time bye
