"I really like the CBBC website, especially the Newsround page because it has updates every day and I like listening to the news. There are lots of videos about deaf awareness and deaf children which I like because it makes people more aware. The videos which aren’t about deaf awareness don’t have any options for subtitles or sign language support. I can hear the news but it would be easier if subtitles were available. It’s more difficult when they’re talking whilst showing something and I can’t see the person’s face. The news articles encourage you to be kind and help others.

I also like playing the games that they upload every day. They’re easy to play and give instructions as you go along. They’re really fun and sometimes you learn new things whilst playing the fact games. Me and my friends enjoy doing the quizzes together. The website is quite easy to get around and I like to use the search box to find games and articles."
