Bosbury Memories
YEAR 6 LEAVERS 2022
Please see below for a collection of the memories which our Year 6 Leavers of 2022 shared in their final Leavers' Assembly and in their Leavers' Yearbook of their time at Bosbury CE Primary School.
My favourite project at Bosbury School was making a theatre when learning about William Shakespeare. It was hard work, but also very interesting learning how to use all the tools. My funniest moment was when I accidentally swallowed some water while jumping from side to side on the big tyre on the play area! My foot got caught underneath the tyre, and I literally flipped over and landed on my back! It hurt but I laughed so hard that the water came out of my nose!
My fondest memory at Bosbury School was meeting my new teacher Mrs. McManus. I will really miss her and I am so grateful for her shaping me into the Year 6 pupil I am today.
I've actually thought lately about becoming a teacher when I'm older, but they don't get paid enough. I used to watch Doc McStuffins on TV, so instead I might work as part of a team of doctors in order to try and find a cure for cancer.
The residential was also really fun, even if North Wales gets so cold at night! I will miss being able to sit in the same classroom for all my lessons. My proudest moments at Bosbury were having the courage to do Bosbury's Got Talent, and playing Queen Sarabi in the Key Stage 2 production of The Lion King.
- Bethany
My funniest moment at Bosbury was when Sam forgot to put his pants on for PE when we got changed! Olly couldn't stop laughing! I really enjoyed making a mummy for our Ancient Egypt project in Year 3, and I loved it when the blue team won Sports Day!
My favourite trip was when we visited all the hot springs at the Roman Baths in Bath, while my favourite costume was definitely dressing up as The BFG for World Book Day in Year 2!
My proudest moment was when we won the football tournament in Year 6 where I scored. I will really miss all the space on the big field at Bosbury as well as the play area and the big willow dome.
- Franklin
I loved The Lion King performance and also Dazzle in Year 6. My funniest moment was when a bird fell into the classroom when we were in Class 2! I really enjoyed going to the boat centre in Class 3 and abseiling down the cave during the Year 5 and 6 residential.
I will really miss my friends at Bosbury. My proudest moment was seeing my little brother Archie play the piano in front of the whole school during Bosbury's Got Talent.
I want to be a famous horse rider when I'm older and own my own stables.
- Alice
My favourite project at Bosbury School was definitely our performance of Dazzle. My funniest moments were when Sam fell in the pond during a trip to our farm, and when we hid from the teachers behind the nursery school on April Fools day!
I really liked seeing the monkeys and penguins at the Cotswold Wildlife Park (I want to be a farmer and run a farm of my own when I'm older), as well as getting to do gorge-walking and rafting on the residential.
The fashion show in Class 3 where we made our own recycled material costumes was great fun, but my proudest moment was winning the running race at the end of my last year at Bosbury.
I will miss Forest School the most as well as our PE lessons.
