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.

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 🦮🌟

On Friday 14th November, Mereside came into school wearing casual clothes, raising money for Children in Need. In the afternoon, they had a special visitor…Pudsey Bear! The children were excited to give Pudsey a hug and/or high-five.
