Yesterday, laden with small fairing gifts for Iris and Bertie’s teachers Nigel made his last school run of this school year.
It’s not hard to say that it’s been a really weird year, with those three months of home schooling at the start of the year now feeling like a million miles away ……. although the experience is still very much ingrained in our hearts, minds and dare I say souls, for many different reasons! It was probably the hardest thing we’ve ever been challenged with …… with Nigel declaring that he would rather do the school run twice a day, five days a week, rather than ever home school again!
Nigel said it was very emotional saying arrivederci and sayonara to the staff we’ve all come to know and love over the past year, both in real life and through zoom calls ……. there were long heartfelt hugs, don’t forget us’s and tears, an awful lot of tears …….mostly, and he’ll admit it, from Nigel.
But who knows what the next school year will bring with new classes, new teachers, new adventures and of course, more school runs.
Before us now are six wonderful weeks of free as a bird, seasidetastic, ice creams in abundance, summer holidays, ……….. we can’t wait ……………….
The final day of the summer term is always something special.
ReplyDeleteDoubtless, the summer will be full of memories that will last a lifetime, too.
oh boy, end of school years, always full of emotions. Things that have past, things yet to come. Happy summer days indeedy. JantheFan x
ReplyDeleteI was a Teaching Assistant for many years and can well remember the mixed emotions of saying goodbye to children that we’d come to know and love so well, coupled with the joy of seven weeks of freedom to spend with my own children. Summer holidays will always have a special place in my heart x
