Caracoles en Preschool 🐌❄️

En Preschool, el invierno también se explora con las manos.
La semana pasada nuestros peques han creado caracoles a partir de materiales sencillos, experimentando con texturas, colores y movimientos.

Una actividad tranquila, sensorial y muy concentrada, donde lo importante no es el resultado, sino el proceso: tocar, probar, repetir… y disfrutar aprendiendo.
Así crece la creatividad desde los primeros años, a su ritmo y con mucha curiosidad.

Snails in Preschool 🐌❄️

Last week, in Preschool, winter was explored through hands-on learning.
Our little ones created snails using simple materials, experimenting with textures, colours and movement.

A calm, sensory activity focused on concentration, where the process matters more than the final result: touching, trying, repeating… and enjoying learning.
This is how creativity grows in the early years — naturally, at their own pace, and full of curiosity.

Arranca una nueva temporada de Meres en Acción.
Una iniciativa donde el deporte y la solidaridad van de la mano, reuniendo a toda la comunidad educativa de Meres: profesorado, familias y alumnado, con un objetivo común: fomentar hábitos de vida saludables y apoyar a asociaciones solidarias de nuestro entorno.
En esta ocasión, el campo nos regaló una imagen muy especial: dos familias participando con dos generaciones distintas. Un momento que nos llena de orgullo y sentido de comunidad.
Porque en Meres, los valores se viven, se comparten y se transmiten.

Esta semana, con motivo del Día de la Paz, vivimos algo muy bonito en la etapa. 🤍🕊️

Cada alumno de 6º formó pareja con un alumno de Infantil y, juntos, se pararon a pensar en algo muy sencillo: qué podemos hacer para hacer felices a los que nos rodean. Lo escribieron, lo dibujaron y lo colocaron en el panel de toda la etapa, como un recordatorio diario de que la amabilidad se entrena.

Porque a veces no hace falta mucho: una palabra bonita, compartir, ayudar, invitar a jugar… Pequeños gestos, grandes mensajes. ✨

This week, to celebrate the Day of Peace, we shared something truly special across the stage. 🤍🕊️

Each Year 6 student paired up with a child from Early Years, and together they thought about something very simple: what can we do to make the people around us happy. They wrote it, drew it, and added it to the stage display—so we can all remember every day that kindness is something we practice.

Because sometimes it doesn’t take much: a kind word, sharing, helping, inviting someone to play… Small gestures, big messages. ✨

Hoy celebramos el Día de la Paz.
Y hemos querido escucharlo desde quienes mejor saben explicarlo.

Para nuestros alumnos, la paz es compartir, ayudar, jugar juntos, respetarse y cuidarse unos a otros.
Palabras sencillas, miradas honestas y respuestas que nos recuerdan que la paz empieza en lo cotidiano.

Escucharles es, quizá, la mejor forma de celebrarla. 🕊️
