A little message for Year 6…

By K overson11th May 2020

Dear year 6,

I’m sure we have all woke up this morning wondering how we would have been feeling if we had been at school because this week you should have been sitting your SATs.  Due to these uncertain times we won’t be having breakfast together everyday, we won’t be debating red or brown sauce on our bacon sandwiches on Friday and we won’t have the decision of which flavour ice cream to choose at the ice cream parlour but everyone at GT couldn’t be more proud of you all.  Some of you will be pleased that you don’t have to sit the tests but we know that most of you will be disappointed because you have worked so hard your whole primary school life towards these and although they are not everything, we know how much you wanted to sit them to prove to yourselves how awesome you are!

We just want you all to know that we are proud of every single one of you, not just today but every single day you have worked hard to achieve your individual potential.  During the past 8 months you have shown sheer determination to prove yourselves and be the best you can be and during this time you have produced beautiful work.  You have all grown in confidence, matured and are ready to take on that next chapter in your lives.  We have enjoyed every second of home learning with you all and couldn’t be prouder of the work you have produced in the classroom.  We have enjoyed ‘hanging out’ with you all everyday and seeing your smiling faces in our feel good Friday videos.

So this week, stand tall, be proud, stay safe, smile and remember how amazing you all are!

We really do hope to see you all soon for the leaving celebrations you deserve!

WE ARE CREW!!!!!

Her is a poem someone has shared with me:

A Poem for Year 6 children – class of 2020 🤗 🌈
Today is the day that SATs would have started,
The classroom set up and the tables parted,
The rules on the board, the display walls all covered,
Your workbooks away, out of sight in the cupboard,
Instead you are home, you’re doing your bit,
Protecting your families from getting sick,
It’s important right now, we’re in lockdown you see,
Being a part of world history,
You’ve all worked so hard, you should be so proud,
You’ve practised your SPAG and times tables out loud,
You’ve learnt algebra to the Nth degree,
And now the tests, they will no longer be,
Some may be sad that they can’t take the tests,
“Hip hip hooray,” I’ve no doubt said the rest,
Whilst the tests are on hold and you stay home this term,
Remember that tests can’t measure everything you learn,
And I don’t need SATs results to tell me,
How hard you have worked, it’s easy to see,
‘Lockdown’ Year 6, let me shout it out loud,
You’ve made all your teachers so very proud,
So please continue to learn, fill that brain up full,
And remember, we think you’re all wonderful! 💕

    I for one am truly great full for all the support you have given our children, not only through these uncertain times but through the last 8 months. You always go above and beyond.
