Happy Summer!
Hi Goldfinch,
What a year it has been! Although it hasn't ended the way we would've liked, this year has still been wonderful and I have enjoyed working with you all very much.
You were my first ever year 5 class, and because of you I hope to stay in year 5 for at least a few more years. I have some great memories from this year and I hope you all do to.
You have each worked extremely hard and Mrs Elliott and I are both very proud of your achievements. The only thing I'm slightly sad about is that I haven't managed to convert any of you to Aston Villa fans!
Have a wonderful summer. I look forward to seeing you all flourish in year 6. I am only next door and look forward to popping my head around and saying hello.
Well done again for a brilliant year!
Mr Tucker and Mrs Elliott
