Signing at Montessori Taradale

These short clips show Arlo who is one of the tamariki in our 0-3 casa.  He has been engaged with a book and song called "He aha tenei?" which Karen has been sharing with the children to show them how we can take care of our taonga, being the creatures in our natural environment.  

As part of his learning journey, Arlo has been practicing the NZSL signs with Karen, as well as learning the names of the creatures in both English and te reo.  Within our casa, the tamariki are supported in their efforts at verbal communication by the use of sign, English and te reo, being the three official languages of Aotearoa New Zealand.
