As part of our Health and Wellbeing learning we have been talking about when to say “please” and “thank you”. We read a story called “The Elephant and the Bad Baby” to stimulate our discussions. Here are some of the children’s thoughts.
Brooke: when your Mum gets your tea.
Olivia B.: you say “thank you” when someone gives you sweets.
Holly-Mae: I say “thank you” to the ladies in Nursery when I get snack.
Evan G.: I say “please” when I get sweets.
Frankie: when someone gives me something I say “thank you”.
Enid: you say “thank you” when people come to your house.
Kobe: when people give you something.
Jasmin: when I got sweeties for Hallowe’en from Mum and Dad I said “thank you”.
Cali: I would say “please” for juice.
James: I say “thank you” when I get special treats.
Annalise: I say “thank you” when Mummy gives me something special.
We are delighted that our children are learning good manners and hope that they keep this up as they get older.
