Dear Swifts...

Class of 2020-2021,

I just wanted to say how amazing you all have been this year. Watching you all grow has been wonderful to see and you have come on leaps and bounds. With the tough year that we have had with all the challenges posed, you should be incredibly proud of all that you have achieved! I am beyond proud of you all and it breaks my heart not being able to say goodbye to you. 

Thank you for helping me be the best teacher that I can be and showing me that Bitterne Manor Primary School really does have the most kind hearted children ever! Mrs Mayo, Mrs Rathore and I will always be here for you! You're in great hands with Mrs Norris and Mrs Stubley.

You'll always hold a special place in our hearts. Once a Swift, always a Swift 💜💛💗 

Lots of Love

Miss Sangha

P.S. Have the BEST Summer ever, I can't wait to see you all beaming when you come back in September!

Here's a little something to make you all smile, some highlights of mine...

Farewell Kestrels 2021

!IMPORTANT INFORMATION! DropBox will only show you a preview of the first 15mins of the Leavers Film.  To view the full 20mins please make sure you download it first!  Enjoy!!

Today was a day of celebration and capturing the 'moment' for our Kestrel Class who leave for Secondary school in September!  It has been a great, fun-filled day with lots of shirt signing, balloon fun, pizza and cupcake eating!  It was also an emotional moment watching our Leavers film together and sharing our awards ceremony with parents.  

Kestrels you have coped brilliantly with what has been another difficult year and we are all very proud of you!  Good luck at whichever secondary school you are moving on to; don't forget to come back and see us and have a great summer!

Preschool Graduation!

We would like to say a big well done to all of our school leavers!! We very much enjoyed graduating them this week! They have all been amazing this year and we will miss them all. We look forward to seeing those who are starting Kingfisher class in September and we wish all the best to those starting in new schools! :)

Have a lovely summer! 

Sam, Emma, Claire and Rachael :)

A SENSATIONAL year with Skylarks!

A message to Skylarks... 

It's a strange way to end the year but it doesn't change how truly proud I am of each and every one of you! It has been a year we will never forget, filled with so many marvellous moments and memories! We have learnt together, smiled together and laughed together! I hope you have all had the best time in year 3 and I know you are all going to be super stars in year 4! Enjoy your summer holidays and I will see you in September!

xoxo Miss Wyatt

This isn’t how I wanted to end this year with you Skylarks but I want to wish you all the luck in the world for year 4, you will all be amazing. Thank you for making me smile and laugh daily. It has certainly made the tough year we have had easier for me. I am going to miss all of you loads and please remember to say hello when you see me in school. Take care and enjoy your summer holiday.

See you in September, love from Miss Bradley.
