Dear Year 6,
Well done for your great sentences using coordinating conjunctions. We miss you too but hopefully it will not be long until we see you again. I know that Miss Gorick and Mrs Healy are very proud of how much you achieved this year-and I agree.
It is not clear when schools can open again yet I promise you that as soon as it is possible, we will open St.Vincent’s straight away and look forward to welcoming you back, whether it is for one month or just one week. So keep working hard but don’t forget to relax as well. I look forward to reading more of your comments on the Blogs.
