We are learning about different types of listening. There are 3 main types of listening that we learnt about.
Busy Listening - When the person listening is busy doing something. They are too busy to concentrate on what is being said.
Me Too Listening - When the person listening has a story that they feel is more important than the person talking so they interrupt and share their story instead of listening.
Active Listening - When the person listening looks at the person talking, concentrates, gives non-verbal feedback (e.g. nodding) and asks questions about the story.
To learn about the different types of listening, we watched this video:
As a class we created our own video to help us understand the different types.
After practising each type of listening, we realised…
Busy listening makes us feel like you’re not listening to us. We found it really hard to keep talking.
Me too listening makes us feel frustrated and sad that you think your story is more important.
Active listening makes us feel valued. We know you are listening because you are looking, nodding, asking questions.
As a class we are all trying to get better at being active listeners.
I am learning how I can use animal strips in an array to help me solve multiplication questions. I can use my 5 times tables to solve 6, 7, & 8 times tables.
Reflection:
Using the animal strips made this easier to do.
