MellorMellor Journalists
Meet the Team
We are the Mellor Mercury Journalists!
The team include Year 4, 5 and 6 children who have curious, inquisitive minds who strive to keep the Mellor pupils aware of current events from within our school community as well as the outside world.
We meet every Monday after school to share ideas, research our articles and to write up our stories to be considered for the upcoming editions.
We are always looking for new, creative minds to join our thriving team. If you are a Year 4, 5 or 6 pupil, and someone who loves asking questions and has a passion for writing, then you can submit a short, written application to Kieran stating why you feel you would be great for the role.

Reports to Governors
2024/25
We have all settled in to our new classes quite well and are now excited to create and publish our first Mellor Mercury edition of the school year. One of our main hopes for this year is to encourage more people to read the articles that we create. We would like to tell the pupils in the school more about what we do, and how we do it. We hope to possibly present this information during phase assemblies over the next few months. Our presentation will involve information about who we are, why we wanted to be Mellor Journalists, and how we come up with and write our stories. We would also like to share some of our favourite articles from the last few years.
Summer Term 23/24
We have been working hard at adapting to the changes in our team. We have had to try and be more organized in terms of meeting our deadlines, as we no longer meet every Monday. This is something we are hoping to improve upon in the following months. Having specialist roles in the group has now allowed us to focus on certain news subjects in more depth. Before the end of the year, we are hoping to produce another issue of the Mellor Mercury, which will focus on current events locally and nationally, as well as what’s been happening at Mellor. We are also hoping to welcome a guest speaker in the upcoming Autumn term who can talk us through what it’s like working for a professional newspaper.
Spring Term 23/24
We have been keeping busy here at the Mellor Mercury, and experiencing some slight changes. We have been given special roles as correspondents which reflect our own, personal interests. We are continuing to write about events that are happening in our school and local area, as well as current events nationally and internationally. As well as this, we will soon be welcoming some new members from Years 4 and 5 to our Journalist team.
Finally, we decided that we will no longer meet every Monday after school. Instead we will continue to write our articles from home when we can, and send them to Kieran for inclusion in the latest editions of the paper. We will meet every few weeks during lunchtimes at school, briefly, to go through any updates or ideas for upcoming projects and initiatives.
We’re also hoping to welcome a special guest to one of our meetings in the Summer term who has experience in working for a newspaper, and who will be willing to share their knowledge and tips with us.We’re excited about what the rest of this school year will bring to our group.
