I have said it before (dozens of times) and I'll say it again, no doubt, it's sad to leave but exciting to move on to new challenges. Today was my last day at my first Northern School.
We had a bit of a fuddle (it's not what you think, it's a buffet) and then the head handed out bouquet to all the leavers and said some lovely things.
When it came to me she told two anecdotes about my time there; "I knew you had settled in when the head of Education in Yorkshire came for a visit to your class and he commented that you had the children right where you wanted them and you had obviously been here for a while, to which I responded yes, about two weeks! And the second time was when I asked one of the children what they were playing and they said "we're not playing, we're exploring our learning."
I have really enjoyed my time at the school and I know that I made a huge impact on the students and staff. It is lovely to be appreciated, I felt more at home there after six months than I did after five years in the LVS Oxon.
My Facebook status sums up my feelings;
Obligatory I'm a lucky teacher photo. Thank you to all LMers for making my first Northern school such a special one, it'll be hard to beat you guys. You welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like one of your own straight away. Thank you all, you have been so very generous. Have a good summer you all deserve it. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger "I'll be back!"
