Hearing impaired charity fun evening - 25/10/16 – Sophie S

On Tuesday evening we enjoyed another successful evening with the hearing impaired community Ocean Stars support. Ocean Stars sponsors children of hearing impaired parents, and this evening acts as one of the only outings and opportunities some of these children and their families get to socialise and have fun. We had a fantastic display of craft activities, balloon modelling, puzzles, card-making, bubbles, bubbles, bubbles and different sporting activities. This was an amazing group effort between the Calthorpe Park students and Team 2. It was really heart-warming to see these families enjoying themselves, particularly when singing along to the hokey cokey, the songs the CPS students sang, and finally when samba dancing!


The highlight for me of this evening, was giving a small piece of jewellery to each individual, donated this year mainly by my mum and Amy. I never see such grateful recipients of any gift as I do during these moments. This makes it such a special occasion as we can see just how much Ocean Stars input means to our sponsor children and their families.
