Well, we have reached that time of year again where it is time to say goodbye…..and look forward to next part of our adventure. I do not know where this year has gone to! It feels like yesterday when Year 1 walked through my door, not knowing what to expect.
This year I have watched Year 1 blossom; they have grown in confidence as the year has progressed and I am so proud of the class I see before me now. They have all made fantastic academic progress, but more than that, they have developed as little people with character traits which will stand them in good stead for the future. They have all developed their independence, resilience, friendships and willingness to just ‘have a go’ - this is the thing I am most proud of. If you never try, you’ll never know.
I wish you every success, Year 1, as you become Year 2. Miss Simons and I will watch your progress through school with much interest and great love - and with lots of lovely memories of the year we have had. I have loved every minute of it.
May the love of Christ fill you with strength, courage and love each and every day of your lives. God Bless.
