It's Cleo's time to shine in this episode, as she is assigned as play monitor at Bluey's school. She sets out to play a game with Rusty, but he has lost his voice! Cleo, being 4,000 years old and an expert at everything, teaches him Auslan, or Australian Sign Language, to help him communicate with his friends Honey and Indy, who also play dentists to help him understand why he has lost his voice.
Australian parents, to help your children understand more about Auslan and how it helps deaf children and their families, head to the link below to check out some Auslan-related activities, or check out episodes of Sally & Possum on ABC iView:
The 'Hood: Lost Voice. Coming November 4th alongside The 'Hood's episode 'Sand, Water & Steps'!
Those links are very interesting, I've not heard of Auslan before, thank you for sharing.
