Year 6 - Summer 2 - Week 7

Date: 18th Jul 2023 @ 10:25pm

Well...the day has finally arrived! Today, we said our final goodbyes and finished our time here at Trinity St. Peter's.

Even in this final week, we have still been able to create some final memories of primary school. On Monday, we were able to have our final ‘Sports Day’ at Trinity St. Peter’s. We wanted to have a strong emphasis on our value of ‘Enjoy’ and not take it too seriously. We agreed that if we were losing, we would ‘lose in style’ – just as long as it didn’t affect anybody else in the race who may still be trying to win. There was a great atmosphere throughout and we all had a great time taking part in the different races. Perhaps the highlight was our parents’ three-legged race. Lots of laughter…and lots of competitive parents! We were very impressed with those children who managed to complete the lap with neither of their feet ever setting foot on the grass!

Throughout the week, we have had time to visit classes and teachers to get leavers’ shirts and books signed. On Tuesday afternoon, this provided the perfect opportunity to get the whole class out of the classroom (to visit their Reception buddies one last time) so that we could sneak Miss Browne back into school! The reactions of the children to seeing their Y3/4 teacher was fantastic! Please check our class Twitter page for the video / photos - including some class photos with all of their teachers from the past few years.

We concluded our short week with our Leavers' Service on Wednesday morning. This was perhaps more emotional than our leavers’ production with presentations, montages, speeches and one final opportunity for our pupils to show off their incredible voices as a class choir. There was not a dry eye in Holy Trinity Church!

There is not much left to write that has not already been said in class, at the production or in Church! Nevertheless, Year 6, you have been A-MAZ-ING. We have loved teaching you and watching you all grow as individuals and as a class. Bonds have been made for life and we can't wait to see you go onto achieve even more success and happiness in your secondary schools. We will miss you all.

Parents, we would like to thank you for the gifts and cards this week - never expected but always appreciated - and most of all, for your kind words. Your continued support has allowed the children to continue to thrive at Trinity St. Peter's in their final year.

Have an amazing summer, everyone!
