Good-bye year 4............a few words to see you on your way!

.............and before we knew it, the last day was upon us!!!!!! Time really does fly when you're having fun!

I think back 10 months and am bowled over by how far you have all come. You have all blossomed into confident, unique and wonderful individuals who are all ready to spread your wings and fly........ we are very proud of each and every one of you!!!!

A favourite character of mine sums up all our feelings perfectly.....................

You have a special place in all our hearts. Your humour, curiosity, enthusiasm and passion have been infectious and we have enjoyed every moment with you all.............you have made coming to school everyday not a job but a pleasure!
It has been a privilege to be a part of your lives and memories!




Take a moment to think about all you have achieved and just how far you've come.

The real pleasure has been going on this journey together.

At the beginning of this year, who could have predicted just what a fun packed, rollercoaster of learning we have been on.










Don't be scared of your path ahead - you are ready!

Take a deep breath, reach for the stars and grab them!

Believe in yourself, just like we believe in each and every one of you. You will ALL go far in life, so dream big and follow those dreams - you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to!











You may be sad, but don't spend your time upset and glum, instead smile at all the memories we have made. They will last forever! It is time to start a new chapter - but don't worry, we will always be here for you whenever you need us! You will be in our hearts forever!

See you soon and thank you for bringing us such joy!

Mrs. J and Mrs. Scott.

Celebrate good times!!!!!!!!!
