I really do not know how to begin when writing this blog. Firstly, I want to say how much of gift it has been to teach your children during their first year at school. Watching them grow and achieve new skills is just the greatest gift! I cannot tell you all of the many memories that I will hold of your children... when they have burst with excitement, happiness and pride when achieving something for the first time! Although this year hasn’t ended as we would have hoped, it has been such a special year!
From the moment we began learning from home, I have been so in awe of you all, your determination to support your children by making sure that, despite this strange time, they feel happy, safe and excited to learn! I feel so grateful to be a part of such a positive community and can only thank each one of you for helping to create this!
Today marks the start of my maternity leave but this does not mean that I will no longer be checking in on the children and seeing how they are getting on. I hope that they continue to enjoy the coming activities that I have planned!
Miss Brisco will be continuing to upload the new photos that you send of your children. Her email address is: l.brisco@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. Should learning from home be continuing after the half term, Miss Brisco will also be continuing to plan new activities for you to complete at home… I know that she is very excited to support the Reception children!
Finally, I must say a huge thank you for the very thoughtful email I received, with all of the children and the sweetest message! I am so touched and find myself in tears each time I look at their smiling faces!
You will all continue to be in my prayers and thoughts. Keep safe and well!
All my love,
Miss Bassett xx
