Throughout the day, the children went round different workshops/stations which had a different scenario to one another. Scenarios included, train safety, fire safety, farm safety, alcohol awareness, vaping awareness, Food Bank stall and NHS first aid stall. At each workshop valuable life lessons were shared to the children and they took part in interactive games/tasks.

🌟 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. ❤️

Try-it Sessions

During our sports week, each class took part in our annual ‘try-it’ sessions, led by our year 6s. A range of new, exciting and different activities were on offer including table tennis, archery, tri-golf and frisbee.

Well done to our Year 6s for being great junior sports coaches to the rest of the school, showing great support, leadership and kindness throughout!

Year 6 SATs

Our Year 6s have been enjoying the opportunity of coming into school for some breakfast each morning throughout SATs week.

They have worked tremendously hard and put in 100% into each paper. They should be proud of their efforts – we certainly are!!

Thank you to Excell supply agency who kindly donated ice creams to all year 6s as a ‘Well Done’ for SATs.

Year 6s have been enjoying their OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activities) PE lessons. They have been working well in teams, matching pictures and map symbols as well as taking part in obstacle courses!

Year 6 World Book Day

Year 6s enjoyed being able to come into school in their PJs/Cosy clothes for the day! We spent the day reading and listening to a variety of different texts and produced some artwork to go with the story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ by Drew Daywalt. Playing a game of ‘Find the Golden Ticket’ was also a highlight!

Below are some pictures from our Careers Week, where the children had visitors from Shrewsbury Town Football Club, Julia Buckley and The Mayor of Shrewsbury.
