Keeping Our Surroundings Clean

We should also keep our home, school, and neighbourhood clean:

Put rubbish in the dustbin. Do not throw litter on the road or in the park. Keep your room tidy. Put your books and toys in their place. Do not spit in public places. Water plants and keep the garden clean.

Good Manners

Good manners are also good habits. They help us be kind and polite:

Say "Please" when asking for something. Say "Thank you" when someone helps you. Say "Sorry" when you make a mistake. Say "Good morning" and "Good night". Do not interrupt when someone is talking. Share your things with others.

Arjun always says "Thank you" to his teacher and "Please" when he needs help. Everyone loves Arjun because he has such good manners!
