This week was the final week for Boo in Primary School as she was a year six leaver.
My Sunday Photo(s) this week are to celebrate some of the fun stuff she did in the last year at school.
The Heart of England Forest.
As a treat for doing so well during SATS week the class was treated to a trip to The Heart of England Forest in South Warwickshire.
This is Boo with her best friend. She has lots of friends at school but seems to be drawn to the ones who are a little different. Boo could easily fit in with the ‘popular’ girls but instead prefers to choose friendships she can trust and give something back to.
Kingswood Residential
Just last month Boo spent two nights away from home on a residential trip. She joined in with everything and had a really good time. Here is a photo of her abseiling, which she found really scary, but she did it anyway.
She is quite a timid girl, but with the right encouragement she will generally give anything a go. She loved being on the residential trip, she enjoyed all the team work and the opportunity to enjoy things she wouldn’t normally get the chance to do. I worry that she does miss out on a lot of stuff. We avoid things because of Star’s disabilities, and it’s even worse since I became disabled. It’s so good that she can get the opportunity to do these kind of things.
In this next photo she is again with her best friend. She told me all about the tumbling tower with such great excitement. Her friend kept falling off before they’d finished building the tower, but Boo was there to catch her every time.
I’m so proud of my little girl, she never fails to surprise and delight me. She has a heart of gold and always kind to others. At the leavers assembly she was awarded with the trophy for being artfully creative and her teacher said to watch out for her name on the shelves of Waterstones in the future.
We have already talked about her writing a book and Star will help with the illustrations. Maybe we can make this our task for the Summer!
Aww! Well done Boo! My daughter is 6 and heading for Y2 in Sep. She’s classed as a “Young carer” due to her brother’s and her dad’s care needs. She is amazing and also always befriends the children who need a little more support. Maybe it’s a special needs sibling thing? Either way, it looks like Boo has had an amazing Year 6 and is a total credit to you 🙂
I think it definitely is a SEND sibling thing. Her sister is autistic and Boo has 3 autistic friends at school, her other friend is profoundly deaf. She is truly caring x
Looks like you’ve had a brilliant last year in Primary, Boo! #MySundayPhoto
She most certainly did x
It looks like she’s had a wonderful school year. Is she looking forward to her new school?
Have a great Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
She is absolutely thrilled about going into year 7, she’s not worried at all 🙂
Great story – I love the photo of the 2 running thru the woods. Great joy!
Lovely outdoor photos. Boo sounds a wonderful girl and I love that she by passes the popular girls for those she can find true friendship with.
What beautiful weather for such a great trip. It looks like they had a blast!
Hi Anne, it’s lovely that the class got treated for doing well in their SATs and what better way than getting out in nature. Boo is far braver than me, you wouldn’t get me abseiling for love nor money. I like having two feet on the ground. And as for that tumbling tower? How fun and team building… Boo sounds a wise girl too, sometimes it can take a lifetime to realise that people who are different are far more interesting!

What a lovely post about a lovely girl! I do enjoy hearing about kids’ special friendships. Good luck to her for secondary school!
lovely photos and lovely words from her teachers – do get that book started!
My eldest would love this especially if you can run around in a field X #mysunsayphoto
Aww! Lovely photos! It sounds like Boo has had a great school year! Good luck for year 7 x
How wonderful to have such a great year.
Way to go Boo, that is awesome. I felt the same with my son earlier this year, it’s a big step but was so proud. Love the photos and sounds like she’s ready for the next step. Hope you have a great summer xxx
Looks like a great end to primary school. I hope she thrives in Y7.
