This week in Living and Learning, Year 1 have been thinking about good manners.
Manners are the kind words and actions we can use to show respect and kindness to others. They help us to treat everyone fairly and link to the British value of respect and tolerance.
We talked about how it feels when people are polite or impolite. Being polite makes everyone feel happy and cared for but being impolite can make people feel sad or left out.
The children had lots of brilliant ideas about good manners:
-
Saying please and thank you
-
Being kind and helping people
-
Holding doors open
-
Sharing
-
Saying good morning and giving a smile
-
Being welcoming to others
We agreed that good manners help us to get on with each other and they make school a happier place for everyone!
Help at home by thinking of a time you used good manners today. How did it make you and others feel?
