New Zealand Sign Language Week

This week has been New Zealand Sign Language Week. Throughout the week Room 6 students have had the opportunity to learn some of New Zealand's third official language - sign language.

We started off by learning how to fingerspell our names, using the following poster.

Students also spent time learning other words interactively using Sign Ninja. Follow the link to start learning.

Lastly, we are learning the sign language that accompanies the New Zealand national anthem, to enable us to use all three official languages when we perform it. The YouTube video is linked below.
