Kiaora blogger and welcome back to my blog. You may not know yet, but this week it is New Zealand sign language. Our class is celebrating this week by doing a fun task that involves learning how to sign with your fingers and using resources online to learn how to sign. NZ Sign Language is one of 3 official languages recognised in New Zealand. This poster here is the official signs for each letter of the alphabet and some common words used in greetings. Watch the video below once, and then try to copy the letters as they slowly do them. To show what we have learnt during the time we have, we were to make a video of us signing "Kiaora, my name is" and then sign your name to complete the sentence. Here is the video of me signing that phrase.
I'm having technical difficulties with loading the video so when it works i'll put in on here. I fund this task really fun and really cool especially because I haven't learnt sign language before. You should give it a go. If you want to learn more about sign language like your name and simple phrases, you can go onto sign ninja or you can look at the photo above to learn the alphabet, your name and small phrases. Thank you for reading this weeks blog post. It is almost the holidays and I will probably post again this week. Have a good holiday if I don't post anytime after this.

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
Encourage me to make another post
