A final farewell to Primary 7.....
Thursday 19th June marked the last day for our Primary 7 pupils, they were treated to freshly made muffins and hot chocolate in the staff room for their last break. We would like to wish them every success in their new schools, we will miss them all and hope they have many fond memories of their time in St.Joseph’s.
We would also like to thank their parents who have supported us greatly over the past 7 years offering lifts, and helping out in every way they could, your help was much appreciated.
A little poem to sum up the last day in P7………
Last six hours of primary school
Goodbye is getting near
The sums and sentences all done
The full stop day is here
Last five hours of primary school
Where everything's before
The aims and games and crazes
no one’s crazy for no more
Last four hours of primary school
Surrounded by a class
Who'll scatter soon and not return
when summer’s days have passed
Last three hours of primary school
One final lunchtime play
Instead of chasing friends we try
to chase and catch the day
Last two hours of primary school
The clock hands blur and skid
Signing shirts, remembering
the coolest things we did
Last one hour of primary school
With teachers who understood
And helped us see we could achieve
‘cos they believed we could
Last ever second of primary school
The full stop rings in our ears
But a thousand chapters left to write
We must vacate our childhood site
For time moves on and time is right -
To leave our wonder years
