Good Communication

In Year 2 this term we have been enjoying lessons that incorporate different aspects of social awareness. We have been identifying practical ways to care for others and ways of making and keeping friends. We have been developing an understanding that part of getting along is listening attentively to others.

Five Good Listening Rules

Look at the person who is talking

Listen and don’t interrupt

Ask questions to find out more

Nod or say something to show you understand

Repeat what you have heard in your own words

Being a good friend doesn’t mean you always have all the right words to say. Sometimes it means you just know when to be a good listener.
