因为你，因为我（高）爱像一首歌 唱尽世间的感动心就像天空 可以无限的宽阔
用双手编织梦就让一切因为你因为我感觉都更不同就让一切因为你因为我世界充满更多爱的感动
爱就像山峰 望向世界的尽头心就像灯火 照亮黑暗的角落
人间有爱（高） 感谢你给了我温暖的拥抱 让我摆渡过生命低潮
一颗心 装满爱 风再大 不飘摇学会把肩膀 借别人依靠用真心 给了你 了解的微笑陪着你解开 心事困扰
看着你 抬起头 泪停了 那一秒感动在胸口围绕我相信人间有爱值得去期待长久封闭的心终究会打开体谅会化解伤害 关怀会化解疑猜最动人的爱 是信赖

Advantages
1. Combine sign language and intellectual thinking to better express their thoughts; and to help students to better understand the song lyrics.
2. The combination of song lyrics and sign language strengthens the memorization of the words and sentences
Limitations

• Lack of sign language teachers
• Lack of curriculum time

Reflections• We got a chance to write a poem about
love, how we express it to others, and searched for photographs from the Sichuan earthquake to tell people to appreciate their loved ones before it is too late. Through these activities, we gained more wisdom and knowledge.
• The whole experience has taught me some valuable lessons and I hope the school will introduce this to more classes and levels for them to realize how fortunate we are to be in Singapore.

• When I was learning sign language, I gained extra knowledge. This knowledge was very useful for me as I did not know any hand signs beforehand.
• Learning the song and signs at the same time was fun and interesting; going to a sign language competition was also a good experience for me. I enjoyed learning those hand signs and feel that we should participate actively in these activities as they are quite meaningful.

Everyone has done one report about the earthquake. While doing our research, we learnt that a school collapsed there. A brave and noble teacher sacrificed herself to save a child trapped in the collapsing school. I was touched by her and wrote about her in my report.

After the series of activities, we learnt to be caring and to love one another. Our classmates displayed love and care for Jun Dong. Everyone wished him to get well soon as he was knocked by a car. I Wish that he would recover soon.

• I felt that this activity was very meaningful as it let us learn something new from it. I also felt that we had a great time gathering together for the teacher to explain the meaning of the songs to us and we could also share our ideas on some of the explanations.
By Soh Yi Jing Pearlyn (P605)
• During the process, I learnt teamwork, patience and understanding.
