Sign Language - Week 6

Sign Language - Week 6

This week (and some of the other weeks), I learnt some sign language. Sign language is a language that can be spoken internationally for people that are deaf. It is a language that you can't hear, because it is just signals and movements made by your hands. I learnt how to do the signals for the colours, good morning and good evening, shoes, dolphin, clap and lots more! Sign language is a really cool language! 

Here are some examples of a few sign language signals:

• Sign for thank you - put your hand on your chin, then put it down
• Sign for please - brush your hand down your chin, quickly
• Sign for dolphin - it is sort of like how a dolphin jumps, move your hand up and down
• Sign for good evening - put one of your arms down flat and start with the other arm up straight and then move it down until it is flat down on your other arm
• Sign for good morning - do exactly the opposite of the good evening movements (instead of putting your arm down, move it up)
• Sign for book - put your hands down flat together
