Hi guys today we are going to be looking at a fun task all about sign language.
Did you know that New Zealand or NZSL is the main language that deaf people use in New Zealand. NZSL became a official language of New Zealand in April 2006.That is something all New Zealanders can feel proud of. NZSL is the language of deaf New Zealanders.Other countries have there own different sign languages just like other countries have different spoken languages.
Did you know that the first deaf school was opened in Christchurch in 1878,But in 1880 a group of teachers in Mailn,which is in Italy decided to band the language. All deaf schools in New Zealand stopped teaching sign language.This meant that children were not allowed to use sign language at school at all,they would be punished.Even though sign language was banned ,this did not stop children from using sign language in secret; especially after leaving school.Children kept sign language alive without help any adults,for over 100 years.
