It's a 'Big Day Out' not 'A Night at The Museum'! A picture book of an exciting trip to the museum, giving the opportunity to sequence events, using concepts such as first, next, and last. Lovely bright pictures include examples of symbols and signing, and feature interesting and unusual topic vocabulary, with details to expand on. Distant versus close up perspectives give opportunities to focus on facial expressions, talk about emotions and 'Why? Because...'. A great resource.

Plus, have you seen the 'Set to Sign' pack of BSL cards for the 'Big Day Out'? Really fun pictures and useful cards featuring social and museum topic vocabulary for children and grown ups!
