1Do you have an important or favourite memory from this past year?Perhaps it is your friend clapping for you,or seeing rainbow pictures in the windows.By sharing our memories,we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what we've been through.

2There are many uses for memory.Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike;factual memories help you to recognize faces.These types of memories can be short or long-term.Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful.Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during the lockdown,and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards,are emotional memories.They are generally long-term and can sometimes last a lifetime.

3Memories are significant.They tell you the story of yourself.Information such as which school you went to and who your friends were is stored inside your brain,ready for when you need it.Memories can also help you manage feelings.Heidi,12,said,“If I miss seeing my granny and grandad,I remember staying with them in Devon.It makes me feel happy,like when I was there.”Shared memories can connect you to others.

4Talking about your memories is also important,says Kim Roberts,a professor who runs the Child Memory Lab in Canada.She believes focusing on happy memories,like learning a new hobby,will help you feel more positive.If you have difficult memories,though,it's important to talk about them.Roberts says it's also helpful to remember that if you missed out on your last term at school,or birthday celebrations,then your friends did,too.One day you will look on this year as an important memory that you share.
