Ways to Communicate

Words, faces, art and kind ways to speak and listen.

What your child practises

Practises the many ways people communicate (art, song, dance, facial expression, body language, sign language), active listening, respectful language, giving reasons, and sharing information with pictures or objects. Indigenous cultures have many different ways to communicate, and this unit only names the idea.
