Achieving something amazing together

This week has been such a wonderful week, celebrating New Zealand Sign Language Week. It is fantastic to see how keen and engaged our children are throughout this huge learning experience.

On Friday morning, we did a little concert on our deck at morning tea time. When I told our children about what we were going to do, they were just so excited.

In front of so many students and teachers, our children performed 'One call away' in New Zealand Sign Language. It was beyond amazing!

so... what did our children learn through this week's experience?

-Children know that when we work hard, we can achieve something big.
-We recognised the efforts and time that they put into learning New Zealand Sign Language.
-Our children know that the sign language is used by people who are deaf and hard of hearing.
-Performing the concert provided a learning opportunity that develops confidence to be in front of audience and how to manage themselves in such situations.
-It also shows that we are a team! We can work together to achieve something amazing together!
-As we were learning the alphabet signs, the children were very keen to learn more about it and some of them said that they want to be able to finger-spell their names. How cool is that?

Thank you so much for supporting us to celebrate New Zealand Sign Language Week with us!!!
