Sign Language is for everyone!

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog, this week is New Zealand Sign Language week. The topic that goes with Sign Language is 'Sign language is for everyone!'.

This week is to acknowledge the deaf people and those who help teach them sign language and ways to communicate to others. It is important to never make fun of people who have trouble hearing because they are the tough ones who learn sign language so that they can talk and introduce them to others.

This week I am supporting deaf people, deaf people do not understand what you are saying. For the deaf people to understand what you are saying, you have to do the actions with your hands in sign language. Room 3 had to do actions with our hands, and we had to do our names.

Maori Language Moment - Room 3

Today at 12pm the whole world are doing something to support the Maori Language week moment. Pt England School decided to do something as-well, we are singing a beautiful song thats in Te Reo Maori. Room 3 has recorded what we did for the Maori Language week this week. 

In 1972, 30,000 signatures were delivered to Parliament to safeguard the Maori Language. 

 Safe-guard means to protect The Maori language needed to be protected.

- Why I think that the Maori land needed to be protected, was because the people haven't been speaking there language and the Maori language is getting lost
-The Maori language needed to be protected because if it wasn't getting protected people can do whatever they want, and they can also do hurtful things/sad things to people in the country
-The Maori were not valuing there language.

Taha Whanau - Room 3

On 12th September Saturday, we celebrated my sisters 21st birthday. My sisters birthday was on the 13th of September but we decided to celebrate it on Sauturday. My sisters part started at 4:30 and there were heaps of people that turned up to my sisters birthday! My sisters name is Selina and Lena for short, The party was very very fun becuase my cousins came along, my auntys and my other half of the family. At the party it was very very loud because my sisters friends are very loud, but we all went bed around 5-6 in the morning and we all woke up at 3:00 in the afternoon. There were food, drinks, alcohol, music, dance, challenges, race, and much more...

During that time, my sister stopped the music and asked me to get all of the kids to come outside so we could play games and also have a run race. There were 7 kids that were in the race, and me and my sister Mele came first but I was 2 seconds faster than my sister. After the games/challenges my sister said her speech, and then we all prayed before we ate the food. The food was very yum, I took 3 chicken, patatoe salad, crab salad, and after one chicken I was full and I didnt know why ? Besides that my night was very fun and amazing, and thank you to everyone who celebrated with us and who turned up it was so nice to reunite with yous because of this Covid-19.

The best day ever with my family !

The best day ever with my Family;

The best day ever with my Family was, when we all went to Rotorua and Hamilton to go see my Grandparents. At first we went to Hamilton and then we went to Rotorua on a nice Saturday! We decided to go to Hamilton first because my aunt lives over in Hamilton and she wanted us to go and pick her up. There were 5 cars going down to Rotorua, my sister, my brother, my mum, my aunty and my other aunty. When we go to Hamilton, it takes like 2 hours. We usually leave at night time around 6-7 just so there is not much traffic, we eat maccas on the way to Hamilton and then when we get to our Auntys house we eat again. 

We went to Rotorua so we could see my Grandparents (My mum’s dad and mum)! We haven't seen them for a few years now, they have sadly gone away to a better place in Heaven. My mum’s dad sadly passed away when I was about 2 and a half years old, so I didn't really get to meet him and get to know him better and my mum’s mum sadly passed away before I was born because she was really really sick. While driving to Rotorua with my family, my sister, my nephew, my mum and I went in my mums car. Me and my sister were singing so loud that everyone we drove past looked at us, we didn't care because that's just our normal selves and we are not ashamed of what people think about our singing skills.  It was 3 and a half hours from Hamilton to get to Rotorua, but we managed to get back home around 9-10 (Hamilton).
