On monday we went to Bledisloe park. We went for a bush walk.
Then we went to kids republic. I loved the rock climbing.
then it was construction day. my spine was chilling because i thought that our building was going to fall over. then it was art day. my favourite bit of art day was the inside out art.
then it was water day. the best bit about it was falling of the boat. after that it was camp day. we got to make smores and hang out with our friends. in my tent there were Jai, Chris, Elliot and Ryan.
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.
In music with Jenny we are learning to play in a band. We are all learning different instruments and we are working on our rhythm. Check out our videos:
My Reflection:
I have been learning to make a band.
My goal is to stay in time.
I hope I get better at it.
I hope you like this video.
