BSL at our school
British Sign Language (BSL) is a recognised minority language in the United Kingdom. It is a visual language that uses gestures, facial expression and body language to communicate. Many deaf people use BSL as their first language so learning BSL is a great life skill to have; you never know when you might need it! Just remember that BSL is only used in the United Kingdom, other countries have their own sign languages.
At Whitehall Primary School, we offer BSL to all children and adults at different times of the school year. Did you know we also have BSL lunchtime clubs?
This page is to help you learn BSL through different topics. You can watch these videos as many times as you like and come back to any video to practise your skills.
Have fun learning with our videos and we hope to see and sign with you soon!
