Alien writing ....
Child – What?
...makes no sense

10. You get fed up and cross... ...and just stop trying....
Child – I am fed up and cross

11. ...so they let you come home.
Child - Hi Mum.
Did you know how important talking, listening and understanding is?!

12. Talking, listening and understanding is important for learning and making friends.

13. It starts when we are babies...
Gurgle

14. ...by age 4 or 5 we can do it pretty well...
Once upon a time...

15. ..and we are learning new words all the time.
WOW!

16. Talking and listening are really important to help us learn
Scientists and clever people say talking and listening are really important to help us learn.
Talking and listening are really important to help us learn
That’s right

17. And although writing is important...

18. ..today, we are going to hide our pens and pencils and learn just by talking and listening.

19. Your job is to decide which activities and lessons work best...

20. ..and whether there were times you missed your pens and pencils.
