🌟 Mereside Children Spread Smiles During Dementia Awareness Week 🌟

As part of Dementia Awareness Week, our wonderful Mereside children created beautiful drawings and colourful pictures for the residents of Lime Trees Care Home.

We were delighted to welcome Lisa from Lime Trees Care Home, who visited school to personally thank the children for their thoughtful contributions. She kindly presented us with thank you cards from the residents, which were greatly appreciated by everyone involved.

We are incredibly proud of our children for showing such kindness, creativity and community spirit. ❤️

PSHE- Memories

1.5.26

This half term we have been discussing grief, the stages of grief and what are memories. This week we have focused on what memories are, why they are important and why it is important to talk and share our memories.

The children have created their own memory jar, which they have filled with all their memories. Some children decided to make them with water, food dye and glitter while others made them with memories and glitter so they can pull these memories out and discuss.

Careers Week Day 1

Wow!
What a start to our careers week with a visit from Julia Buckley this morning giving us all the information on her role and how she got into politics. The children had opportunities to ask what she had to do to become an MP and discussed how being resilient is an important part of the role.

Then to top it off this afternoon, we have been lucky to have Lesley and her greyhound Freya in. Talking to us about careers in caring for dogs and what the job entails. We even got to give Freya a stroke 🦮🌟

Volcano fun!

We had a great time this afternoon in Year 4 watching an eruption from a homemade volcano (shout out to Imy for her wonderful creation)!

We used baking soda and vinegar to create the chemical reaction and the result was loved by all!

Unfortunately, the video is too large to attach, so here is a photo instead.

Jake Evans Story Teller and Artist visit

On Friday 5th December, we had the best time with Jake Evans. Jake did an amazing workshop which we all loved, starting with using the children’s ideas to create scary stories. Giving us some top tips on how to tell amazing stories ourselves with a special focus on understanding what emotions we want our audience to feel. Finally, we got even more creative with our artistic skills by creating images of two animals blended together.
