Living and Learning – Manners and Courtesy

Tuesday 15 September 2026

good manners

This week we have been thinking about manners. We talked about why we use them: to show respect and kindness to others and to make sure everyone is treated fairly.

We thought about examples of when we use good manners such as saying please and thank you, using good table manners and waiting for our turn to speak rather than interrupting (even when we are really excited to say something!).

Help at home by asking your child if they know why manners are important.

Children might also enjoy taking this quiz with you.
