Well it's the end of another school year and it's been crazy to say the least.
We got Faith's SAT results and she did amazingly well. She got 3's for Maths, Reading and Writing. She has worked so hard this year and it has helped that she has had a lovely teacher Mr Oakley who knows her so well that he has been able to help her over come any problems that she may have had through the year. She has been lucky enough to have him as her teacher for 2 years and will really miss him when she goes in to year 3. A perfect example of how well he knows her is when he wrote in her report
"Faith is very articulate with her words and can get straight to the point in hand. Sometimes however, Faith can make her answers so long and confusing that she forgets what she wants to say"
When I read this I actually laughed out loud because it sums Faith up so perfectly.
Faith and Mr Oakley
Phoebe had a hard first year of school. We had several mornings through the year where there were lots of tears about going and we never really worked out what it is that she doesn't really like about school. And as a result she is a little behind the targets that they are set for the end of the year. BUT she keeps going and we have found out that she has quite a talent for Art and with Auntie Sarah's summer school I know she'll soon be all set to take on year one with her brand new teacher.
It was a difficult end of year for the school as well with 3 of it's long term staff retiring. Mrs Friedel left after 35 years (She even remembers Spencer when he was there), Mrs Thacker after 24 years and Miss Brown who ran the nursery for 10 years. It's sad to see such lovely teachers leaving but I'm sure the new teachers will bring a new spirit to our newly formed primary school.

So with Faith having one of her favourite teachers Mr Corfield again, Phoebe having a NQT who will hopefully be full of wonderful new ideas that will inspire her and Elijah starting nursery with a brand new nursery leader, roll on September. Lets see what the new school year will bring.
