A final blog post

Hello everyone!

We made it!  Well done Oak class on finishing year 3!  Both myself and Betsy are so proud of all the progress you have made, and I have seen everyone's confidence grow throughout the year which has been wonderful to watch.

We've had a busy last week of term - particularly on Wednesday with our trip to Shallowford Farm.  Year 3 and 4 were mixed up, and half of the children came with me in the morning, the other half going with Mr Frewin in the afternoon.  We had a great trip, and learnt about the habitat of the Marsh Fritillary butterfly.  I learnt that it lives in marshy land on Dartmoor, and particularly likes to eat Devils-bit-Scabious.  As well as this, we met some lambs, chicks, and 24 hour-old piglets!  

The end of the year also marks my final blog as a teacher at Chagford Primary school, as I'll be moving to another school in September.  I've loved being a part of the Chagford family, and want to thank both parents and children for being so fantastic and supportive.  With it being my first year of teaching I was nervous about what it might be like, however I shouldn't have been!  I've had the best time, and I am very sad to be leaving.  Thank you everyone for my kind, generous gifts and cards also!

I hope you all have a fantastic summer, and good luck for year 4!
