Are you Listening?

Age Range: 5 - 11
By: Adele Markey

When teaching in Reception class, to gain everyone's attention I would sing, "Are you listening?" The children would sing back to me, "Yes we are."

I now teach in Year 4 and one day I sang, "Are you listening?" The reply came straight back, "Yes we are." Even the older children love to sing their answer!
