Tuesday 16th March

Mrs Rudman was telling us about young carers today in Assembly, they’re children who have to look after their mums and dads even though they’re really young still. Nathan Brierley in Year 4 has to do that even though he’s only eight. His mum’s got a really bad back and some days she can hardly move at all so he has to help with the cooking and getting shopping and doing washing and all stuff like that.

His dad is away, he works in Dubai so he has to stay there ‘cos his company is having a difficult time.

Luckily Nathan has a brother and sister who are older so they help as well. It must be soooo hard though. Wonder if I could do that if I had to… hope so…

Anyway Mrs R was saying we’re going to have a Young Carers’ Group which I think is cool. They’ll have their own time in the Chill-Out space on Wednesdays.
