Our topic is 'Your neck of the woods'. As part of this topic we are going to find out more about the cultures of the children in our class and in Year 2 & 3.
So we started today when we had a visit from Kaaren, a teacher for deaf children. She talked to us about hearing and the best ways to communicate with someone who is deaf.
Sign language is one of the official languages in New Zealand - so we had a 'go' at saying hello, asking a question and signing a song!

Leo and Sophie came too.
Leo had hearing aids and Sophie had a cochlear implant.
