Jubilee celebrations

We had a great time at our Jubilee celebrations. Check out the Well Done page to see lots more pictures.

Our SEAL assembly

All the classes shared the work they have done this half term on the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) topic – Relationships. The younger children learnt about Friendship and the values they need to show to be a good friend. The older children learnt about more complex issues such as dealing with embarrassment and not judging people.

Y3 class assembly

Y3 told us lots of facts about Buddhism in their assembly today.

Y3/4 class assembly

Miss Osborne’s class told us all about their work on the 1950s and 60s. Thanks to the Mums and Dads who helped with the costumes!

Congratulations to the prize winners in our Easter Bonnet Competition! Here are some photos of the wonderful creations.

Mereside gains Basic Skills Quality Mark

We are very proud to say that Mereside School has gained the Basic Skills Quality Mark.

The Quality Mark is an award that celebrates and supports continuous improvement in literacy and numeracy.

It is awarded to a setting or school to recognise their provision, practice and performance in literacy and numeracy, and is valid for three years.

A school or setting must demonstrate a whole school approach to improving standards in literacy and numeracy, with evidence of the impact of its approaches.

Gaining this award is a recognition of all the hard work that goes on at this school, by staff and children, and we are very proud to receive it.

We won!

We are very proud to say that Mereside Primary School are the winners of the 2012 Young Seasiders competition. Watch out for our photo in the special Gazette supplement this weekend! Congratulations to all the children who contributed and to Miss Osborne and Mrs Nicholson who put it all together.
