How grown up.
I was given some nice gifts and the whole school watched me have a good cry
The best thing is that EVERYONE was there - including the office staff, the dinner ladies and the caretaker. I thought that was a nice touch as it is very rare that we all manage to get together.
I have been working there for quite a number of years and have been in Year 6 for four of those years and I have been receiving letters from old pupils from 2 and 3 years ago who moved on to secondary school. Very thoughtful and moving that they care enough to remember me.
Good luck to everyone going through the saying goodbye process.

How lovely, has brought tears to my eyes too!!
Dont think that my send off will be quite so nice,I am more likely to get my car shrink wrapped, filled with rubbish, coat sleeves sewn up, handbag full of shaving foam, and to top it all off a bucket of gunge threw all over me......oh I can't wait

Re: School held a special assembly for me
Oh my God, last day at school today :scared: 
I have been awake for hours in a kind of strange sad/excited state. I have always likened this whole migration process as being like pregnancy and giving birth.This is the stage that is similar to actually giving birth. You're excited as you can't wait for it to happen because you know what is coming at the end, but all the same you know it is going to hurt like hell.

Re: School held a special assembly for me
They will obviously miss you, you must be kinda special to that school for them to be so sad to see you leave, as someone has already said `Australias Gain` no doubt, Im sure you`ll do well when you get there, good luck.

Had a lovely time at school today. Suffice to say that neither year 6 or myself got much work done and there were plenty of hugs and cuddles as I left. In fact I got ambushed at every corner I turned.
Terry is flying out on 8th Feb as he has a job to start, and Alex and I are following on 7th March once the shippers have cleared everything out. Hopefully we will have an offer on the house by then
Hope things are sorting themselves out nicely for you and that you are settling down.Take care
Love Anne xx

Hi Anne,
My pm was basically asking how things were going? I'm so excited for you!
So you haven't actually sold your house? Is it imminent do you think?
We are settling in just fine. We love it here. Only problem so far is our shipment had a few damages, and we need to make some claims. These "recommended" shippers didn't meet my approval!
Bye for now. Keep us posted Anne.
