Goodbye Bushmead

We’re at the end of the school year, and for Year 6 that means that these few days are their (and our) last days here at primary school. There are also teachers here that are leaving this school, so this week’s final newsletter article from us (Kyenaat, Sophia, Anah and Greta) will be about people’s goodbyes and people’s new chapter of their lives.

Now we are coming to the end of our final article, we thought the four of us would like to say our final goodbyes to Bushmead.

Message from Anah Hussain (6 Darwin):

Goodbye, Bushmead. I have been with you since reception and it hurts to leave and start a new chapter of my life but we have to, so goodbye. You’ve been the best school and I will miss you.

Message from Greta Uzkurnis (6 Curie):

I am extremely sad that I have to leave this school. I have been in this school since reception and I have loved it. I can’t wait to go to highschool though, so I can make new friends and learn new things. I have really enjoyed my time here, and I hope other Year 6s cope as well as we did. 

Message from Kyenaat Khan (6 Darwin):

I remember when I first came here in Year 2: I nearly cried because of how nervous I was. But then my teacher Mrs Bower introduced me to all of my lovely Year 2 classmates, and I started to get on and enjoy the year. Then there was Covid, which ruined Year 3 and 4 for me, but still I enjoyed all of it. Year 5 was amazing, too. And Year 6 was absolutely wonderful. I tear up at the thought of leaving primary school, but I am now accepting that going to highschool is part of life and I’ll probably get used to it. This school is a big part of me, so goodbye, Bushmead. I will miss you dearly.

Message from Sophia Hussain (6 Turing):

Goodbye Bushmead. Throughout your time here, I have had loads of fond memories as I worked my way through this wonderful school. I would relive it again if I could, but it’s time for me to move on and start another chapter of my life.
