Wh Question Signs
***Remember when asking a question and especially when signing
USE CORRECT FACIAL EXPRESSION
What?
'What is that?' or "What is This?' finish the sign by pointing to the object.
Who?
I prefer this NZSL sign as the Makaton version is very similar to 'What' and can lead to confusion.
Point your hand to who you are asking about (person, photo...) and wiggle you fingers.
Where?
How?
How Many?
Hands start crossed slightly at chest height then wiggle your fingers slowly as you move them to the edge of your body.
Hands start crossed slightly at chest height then wiggle your fingers slowly as you move them to the edge of your body.
How are you?
There are differing ways to sign this at Sommerville but this is the most consistent throughout NZSL and Makaton.

The Kiwi Valley Farm Park Maze
Tamaki 1’s Amazing $5 Class Trip - Thursday 26 September
This term we have studied maps and a reading book about children going into a large maze.
To prove that students have learnt some mapping and teamwork skills from these lessons we challenge the Tamaki 1 students to:
The Kiwi Valley Farm Park Maze - “The best place to get lost!"
Over 1 kilometre long, the Maze is part of Kiwi Valley Farm Park and entry is included as part of general admission. The maze is made from “Brustik Fencing” and the surface is pumice sand, so it’s an all weather-walking track for all ages.
Please bring a coat, walking shoes or boots, a packed lunch and drink.
Students who pass the challenge will return home on their normal taxi.
