Code of Conduct The children have decided upon their own code of conduct. They will try to do the following things:

  1. We will be good friends and we will be kind to each other.
  2. We will always tell the truth.
  3. We will use excellent manners by saying please and thank you, look at people when we speak to them and let adults go first when going through a door.
  4. We will keep our hands to ourselves.
  5. We will not accept bullying.
  6. We will share nicely.
  7. We will use lovely table manners at all times.
