Celebrating Diversity

 This week we have been celebrating peoples differences. Our poem is called 'people are different'. We talked as a community about the importance of respect and diversity in our world. Encouraging Community Two to focus on differences has helped them understand and respect the strengths and weaknesses in others and themselves.


As well as this we have been celebrating New Zealand and talking about why we are proud of where we live. We have been learning a song that we would like to share with you. It has been very special to us as we have also learnt the sign language to go with the song. The children now know lots of signs for many different words. We will be learning many other signs in the future so watch this space! 


Please comment on our blog as we really enjoy sharing your responses with the children.

    Beautiful reminder of how amazing it is to be New Zealanders.

    Great work community 2. It must have taken alot of hard work to learn all that signing. I now understand where the Aotearoa sign Elizabeth was talking about yesterday evening. Keep it up
