  https://www.premierleague.com/news/3970028 What do you see in the picture?  Why do you think the footballer is doing that with his hands? Last weekend, Newcastle United played a game against Hotspur and wore new shirts with RNID over their traditional black stripes. What does RNID mean? RNID stands for Royal National Institute for Deaf People and Newcastle United have launched a special shirt with sponsors SELA to make their games accessible to deaf fans. Why might a football game not be accessible to deaf fans? The shirts are called haptic shirts and are a world first. They use sensors vibrated during action to transform crowd noise into real-time touch sensation. What do you think this means? What does that mean for a fan who is deaf? The aim is to give deaf fans a match day experience.  What does "match day experience" mean? Newcastle United has committed to providing this technology at all future home games and hope to inspire other clubs across Europe and beyond to...

  What do you see here? But what do you really see? Look past the words / logo and what do you see? What different shapes can you see? How many? How many shapes are there in the N alone? How many colours in the N alone, how many in the N and the O?   Someone designed this logo, how do think they did that? How did they start, why do you think they chose those shapes/ colours? Do the shapes and colours mean anything? The No Outsiders logo was designed by Mr Wearing who is Head teacher at The Oaks Community Primary School in Cheshire. Mr Wearing says, “Each and every one of us is unique and special." What do those words mean? "We all live different and diverse lives." What does diverse mean?  We all have different and diverse backgrounds. But within that difference and diversity, or humanity and similarities shine through.” What things make us the same and make us different in this room?  Mr Wearing decided to design a logo for No Outsiders. This was his idea: “Each let...

Kamden uses a wheelchair and one day Paul was horrified when he saw his friend's chair tip up and Kamden fall out. The problem was Kamden had grown too big for his chair, but his family could not afford to buy a new one. Paul said, "His wheelchair has fallen forward so many times and that sucks. Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money. Paul asked his Mun to set up a Go Fund Me page to raise $3900 for a new chair. In 26 days the page had raised $5935! Kamden's mum said, "What really contributes to their friendship is that Paul does not see Kamden as someone who has a disability. He sees him as Kamden. Because of that, Ka...
