School’s Out for Summer, end of an era, moving on ….and lots more cliches!

…at least school is out for 2 out of our 3 kids, and for one today is her last ever day at Primary School.

The end of primary school means a few traditions for us –

• group photos of our kids in their uniforms

• signing of their polo shirts and sweatshirts by classmates and teachers

•  end of year teacher gifts – faithful readers will recognise these – this is the third year I have attacked drinking glasses with pencils and a glue gun!

• gifts for special friends created – they have spent 7 years together – they will never be all together in school together again 🙁

I had wanted to share some photos of my daughter back on her first day of school – but am not permitted (!) but you can go HERE on my blog to see it! Go on – it’s worth a look – scroll down in that post.

Can’t believe her primary days are over……in September she will be joining her big sister at grammer school.  This is my 9th year of having at least one child at the school, and only another 5 years to go before my youngest leaves too!!!

Unlink when her big sister left, when EVERYONE was crying, today they all came out cheering and with big smiles. Later this evening there will be a BBQ and party for the P7’s – maybe then the tears will flow – for the parents if not for the kids!

Do you have any end of school year traditions or memories – as always, please share 🙂
