What an emotional but beautiful week we have had in Year 6. It is always sad to say goodbye, but my goodness, are they all so ready to spread their wings and fly and High School! It has been such a privilege to have taught Year 6 this last term, they have risen to every challenge, worked their socks off and showed so much love and compassion along the way. They will all be greatly missed by everyone at Our Lady’s.

It has been a week of celebrations and goodbyes… the temperatures couldn’t have been any higher, but nothing could stop our leavers day out on Tuesday. After a beautiful leavers mass, we made our way slowly in the scorching temperatures to complete our crazy golf and then a play and a climb in the shade at Fairhaven. We kept hydrated, the ice cream Miss Hornby treated us to definitely helped, and we had so much fun altogether!

Today was a perfect way to end their primary school journey … this morning the staff performed their very own ‘professional’ pantomime of Cinderella, followed by the surprise flash mob for Miss Hornby and then a special leavers celebration assembly for Miss Hornby, Mrs Curtis and of course Year 6. We then all had lunch, a dance and an ice-lolly with members of staff. Such a lovely way to thank all of Year 6 for the time they have shared with us.

Finally, the Year 6 team would like to thank you all for your continuous trust and support throughout the year. We have loved reading all the children’s cards and kind words and really appreciate any gifts we have received, although the real gift has been to teach all of your beautiful children. Thank you.

Have a wonderful summer and remember what Miss Hornby said… ‘once an Our Lady’s, always an Our Lady’s’ so please do stay in touch.
