Wow! What a final week of Year 5, a final week of teaching for myself and what a year these children have had. I could write endless essays about these children and the year we have had, which is why I have written a thank you letter in each of the children’s gift bags. The week we have had has been action-packed! The first two days (and nights) of our week were fixated on the end of year play- hosted by Year 6. The children thrived in their roles and really enjoyed performing infront of a large audience- this has made the teachers very excited for next years play for when they take the lead. From the day the children walked through the door in September, they were set a class reading challenge by the previous Year 5 class (you may have seen this on the door during pick ups). As of last week, the children surpassed their target and ended the year with a total of 16,074,914 words read based on quizzes from Accelerated Reader- a fantastic group achievement. Because of this, we took the class out to Hope Street Park yesterday afternoon for an extended break time. The children played football, ran down zip lines, swung back and fourth and just had fun in the sun!

From myself and Miss Johnson (soon to be Mrs Austin), we would like to thank all you children and parents for the most amazing year together and we wish you the most amazing summer and for a brilliant year ahead in Year 6.
