FAREWELL: To Year 6 at Kempshott Junior School.

On the last day of term, there was a leavers assembly for the school, especially Year 6 who are leaving to go on to senior school.

Lots of awards were given out for all manner of things.

The greatest thing was that there was a child who had 100 per cent attendance in the four years that he had been at the school.

This award was given out by a representative from the education department.

Well done to everybody who helped out at the school in the past year. Have a wonderful summer and get completely refreshed, ready for the new term.
