During week 1 our class had been talking about the 3 official languages of New Zealand (English, Maori and NZ Sign Language). Kotuku class enjoy learning Maori language each week and expressed an interest in learning NZ sign language as well. This week is actually
NZ Sign Language week and so it is the perfect time for us to begin learning this official language and to use it in our classroom.
Watch the following video about Amber and what her life has been like being deaf. Click on the website links and see if you can learn some NZ Sign Language that you can show your family or classmates this week.
