Good morning all!
I am feeling very emotional writing this blog this morning. This will be my final blog of the Year at Lostock. Even though this year has not planned out the way I thought when I stepped into the role of Year 5 class teacher, I will treasure the time we have spent together and I have loved spending my final year of teaching at Lostock with a talented and caring bunch of children. It has been amazing to watch you grow and develop over the months into such a considerate and mature class. You are all going to smash Year 6 and I am excited to hear about how you all settle back into the new year approaching September. Even though I am leaving, I do hope to come back to see you all in your final school production or leavers assembly. I am so proud of how well you have coped throughout this unusual situation and I have loved seeing and speaking to you all on Monday. I always know that you will progress onto fabulous things and do not let anyone ever dull the spark that you have.
Last day activities
As today is your last day in Year 5, I would like you to reflect on the year and think about all the things that you are proud of. I would like you to write at least 5 things you have enjoyed or succeeded in doing this year and either tweet them or share them on our discussion page.
Here are some other activities you may choose to do today:
- Create a Class Memory book
- Go Outside! Check out this post for learning games you can play outdoors.
- Put on a Show: This could be for parents, younger siblings, or just for your own amusement
- Have a Camping Style Read-In: Set up tents, turn off the lights, and close the blinds.
- Make a Summer Top Ten Lists: Consider Top Ten Books I Want to Read, Top Ten Things I Want to Do, and Top Ten Places I Want to Go.
- Summer Activities Brainstorm: Brainstorm as many fun summer activities as you can
Message from Mrs Powell:
It is hard to think we break up from school today. I cannot tell you enough times just how amazing you have been since we were all last together, I am so proud of how you have managed, learnt and kept smiling. All the staff can’t wait for September until we are back again but missing some very special Year 6 pupils who are going onto new adventures. When I was looking for a worship on how to end the year I found this, I hope you like it!
All of us will have preferred ways to say goodbye. However, the actual word ‘goodbye’ means, ‘God be with you.’ Christians believe that God is always with us. It is good to remember that when people leave us, they are not left on their own. Whether it is just over the holidays, or as some of you move to a new school, we all wish you the very best and, as we say goodbye, we pray that God will be with you wherever you go.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”
—Winnie the Pooh
Have a wonderful summer!
Take care Skylarks. I hope you have a restful and happy Summer holiday and are excited to return as Toucan’s class in September. Good luck and goodbye from me.
