Taha Whanau: NZSL

NZ Sign Language Wk 2020

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog, this week is New Zealand Sign Language week. The topic that goes with Sign Language is 'Sign language is for everyone!'.
This week is to acknowledge the deaf people and those who help teach them sign language and ways to communicate to others. It is important to never make fun of people who have trouble hearing because they are the tough ones who learn sign language so that they can talk and introduce them to others. 

Task Description: Today in our Te Whare Tapa Wha work, I am focusing on Taha Whanau. As it is Sign Language week, for our activity we had to record ourselves introducing our names in NZSL Alphabet /Fingerspelling. Learning NZ sign language helps us make a better connection with friends and whanau who are deaf or hard of hearing. In this video I started off by saying Good Morning and introduced my name by saying My Name is Hannah! This was a really educational and fun activity to do.
