Why is it important to be welcoming?

--Consider how it feels to be somewhere new for the first time – in someone’s house, a new school or your new classroom. Can you just get up and get a drink? Do you know your way around? You might feel shy, nervous or worried.

Welcoming is important because we need to treat others how we would like to be treated. Being welcoming is being kind and considering how others might be feeling and how you can help them feel more comfortable or happy.
