New Zealand Sign language week

Last week Friday we learnt about Sign language. We were taught by Fiona. Fiona is apart of a huge Ballet deaf community and helps children that are not confident about their hearing. She taught us how to sign a sentence in sign language. We learnt that its important to use your dominant hand when you do letter sign language and when your telling someone your feelings you use some expression to show your emotion. We also learnt about the hand positions, so that the person that we are signing to will be able to see what we are trying to sign. I had a great time learning about sign language because I can talk to people that are deaf, or practice signing with my friends. I found learning about sign language interesting because I got to learn about why sign language is important.
