Talking together with Dr Jannie van Hees

Room 7 have have the privilege of learning from Jannie van Hees about having conversations. Thursday 7 of February was our first workshop with Jannie. We learnt about why talking is important and how we can have conversations with are 'to and fro'.

At the beginning, some of our class members were why to share their ideas but as the session progressed more and more students started to participate.

Jannie has taught our class about to and fro conversations. She has introduced us to the idea of chain linking ideas when talking with someone else. It is when you identify the main ideas from what someone is saying then you add your own idea which links to what the previous person said. We have also been practicing in class and we are getting more confident by the day.

We hope Jannie will be impressed with our progress when she visits our class on Thursday 14 February.
