This week we celebrated our third official language in Aotearoa New Zealand: Sign Language!
We started by learning the alphabet in sign language and how to sign "My name is ...". We have also been learning how to say "Hello," "Good Morning" and "Goodbye." Some of us have even learned how to say how we feel. On our blog, we have a page dedicated to learning Sign Language so have a look at the videos so you can join us at home in learning a few easy signs.
Learning Sign Language is a great way to challenge our brains and grow our joy of learning! Learning something new helps our Positive Accomplishment and Positive Emotions.
