Learning Observed

Anastasia, Samantha, Komal and Mahi are creating a New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) Song Slides to help others learn about how to sign songs in NZSL. They started to create this after our NZSL Activity Week that we had in week 2 of this term, it made them Curious about how Deaf people sing. Anastasia, Samantha, Komal and Mahi  have learnt number songs, the alphabet song and the number song that they have learnt from Learning Habitat 2. They have been using the Collaboration and Connecting parts of the Ormiston Learning Model. Once they have learnt the songs they will be teaching others who want to learn how to sign in NZSL. Learner’s understanding of their learning Anastasia - I have enjoyed learning the NZSL version of the NZ National Anthem. I wanted to make sure that I know it so in Hui I am not standing around doing nothing. Komal - I have learnt lots of sign language. I am getting good at doing the songs. Mahi - I have enjoyed learning the different songs and how to do NZSL Samantha - I was already good at the National Anthem but I am getting better at the ABC song.
