Listening Actively!


This is what we think Active Listening looks like.

We have been talking about what things help us to learn.
One thing we have decided is that if we are good listeners it helps us to learn more easily.
LISTENING ACTIVELY!

What does this mean?
-Looking at the person who is talking.
-Being able to remember the things you have heard.
-Asking questions when the speaker has finished talking -Sitting still so you can listen carefully. -Not talking while you are listening to someone tell you something.

Blast Off! Moutere 2008!


5 4 3 2 1 BLAST OFF!

Here we go, we are ready to learn heaps
and have loads of fun in our new class.
Our class is called MOUTERE!

There are 15 kids and 1 teacher.
We are really lucky to be in such a cool class.

We have started the year talking about the things that make our classroom a happy place to learn.
Raewyn put a rocket on the wall to get us thinking about a new year and which way we want to go.
We have to figure out how we are going to get where we want to go and what we want as our goals for 2008.
