An East Belfast primary school developed a special BSL Advent Calender this year in order to help their pupils understand some Christmas themed sign language.
Cregagh Primary School has had a Deaf Unit in its premises for over 30 years and is the only school in Belfast that is able to offer a high level of support to deaf pupils in a mainstream setting.
It is run by the school's Teachers of Deaf Children and Young People, Karen Pearson, who teaches P5 to P7, and Margaret-Anne Christie, who teaches P1 to P4, with 13 children currently using the unit in order to help them with their studies.
