Guildford Grove Primary School: Theme of the week

This week, we focused on what it means to have good table manners. During our Monday morning assembly, we discussed what good behaviour looks like in the dining hall and came up with some fantastic ideas to have in a 'dining hall code of conduct'. They remembered that children should eat with their mouths closed and they should try and keep all of their food on their plate (rather than on the floor!). Some of our teachers also became pupils in the assembly and they acted out poor table manners. Our pupils came to their rescue and were able to help them correct their behaviour. They reminded them to have quiet conversations with the children on their table, to use a knife and fork correctly and how to sit nicely on their seat. This week, I spent a lot of time in the dining hall and was really impressed with our pupils' table manners. I enjoyed having conversations with them about their learning during the week and they all made sure they finished eating before they spoke to me.

Enjoy the photos of today's lunch. The children from Year One to Year Six really enjoyed their food today. You can see by their happy faces!
