I'm sure you are all doing these activities anyway but for the week that's in it give this a go and record how many you actually achieve.
It is unfortunate how the year ended but look to the positives, you all had a great opportunity to become more independent and spend time with family. Also I saw the hard work everyone put in this year and the efforts made. I hope you are all happy with your school reports and are planning on taking a well deserved break before secondary school. We will all get together over the summer and celebrate your graduation.
