Dear Children,

This will be my last message for this school year and what a strange year it has been. We certainly won’t ever forget this one!

Today I have sent a long letter to your parents explaining how school will look from September and I have also put a booklet here on the website that will explain things to you. School will be different but it will be safe and it will be WONDERFUL to have you all back here with us.

Today is the last day that Year 6 will be with us. They have been so brave, mature and patient. Usually we celebrate their moving on to a new school with a disco, an assembly, a night out, an end of term show, endless games of rounders and all of that has not been able to happen. Yet no-one in Year 6 has moaned or groaned, instead they have taken everything in their stride and appreciated what they could have. Year 6 I am so immensely proud of you all, you have been an amazing year group and we will miss you very much. The whole St Mary’s family wishes you lots of love as you move to your secondary schools.

So children, I want you to have a super summer. I want you to relax and enjoy each day and get yourselves ready for a September return to school. There will be a lot for us to do, new rules for us to adopt and a lot of new things for us to learn – it is going to be brilliant.

My very first message had this song in it. Class 1 know how much I love this song, it is my favourite song, so it seems right to end with it.

Take care, have a sensational summer and I can’t wait to see you,

Miss H
