Dear Primary 7, This has been the strangest end to the school year, I have had as a teacher. I wish it could have ended differently and you could have had all the fun things which Primary 7 normally get at the end of their time at Primary School. For many of you, I have taught you now for two years- whether in my whole class or in maths. You have been unforgettable! I know that you will be the first to admit that you can be a noisy bunch at times! However, I have absolutely loved your enthusiasm and your never-ending list of questions. Please don’t loose that! I will miss your Peppa Pig, haggis and Bob questions. Enjoy High School and take ever opportunity you can to learn. Not all learning is done at school. Visit other countries. Learn new skills. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. This week your grid is a little different as you can see. Your number one priority has to be completing ‘My World of Work ‘so Mrs Wilson can send it to High School. There is a fun activity where you can choose who in the class is most likely to become something when they are older. You can write an acrostic poem about leaving Milne’s. I have also included the T-shirt activity we did at thew beginning of the year so you can see how much you have changed. If you see me around, please come over and speak. I would love to know what you are all getting up to and how you are doing at High School. Have a wonderful summer. Enjoy your lives. Take care, Kate Bruno Words of The Day: Tuesday: finale Wednesday: abscond Thursday: embark
