Our youngest son left his Primary School on Tuesday so hubby and I went to watch his leavers service, there were memories of school trips they had all been on, songs they all enjoyed singing, in fact a real trip down memory lane at times I could feel myself starting to get a bit tearful.

I thought I had 'held it together' really well until they announced they would be giving out some awards (the 1st time they had ever done this), several children were given books for being a hard worker, a good friend etc..

Then the Head of the Board of Govenors stood up and made a speach, he then gave out awards to children for sports achievements, being the chess champion and for being particularly arty, but then he said this next award goes to a young man who has thoughout his time at the school, has consistantly shown good manners, consideration to others and a genuine need to help others, he always gives his time freely and he got straight 5's across the board in his SAT's, I was sat there thinking wow!! somebody is going to be a proud parent, then he said the Governors award for Excellence goes to........ it was my sons name that he read out!!!
Needless to say the tears started, I am so very proud of him.

When we got home we also found out our eldest (who some may remember has had a few behaviour problems) won an award for behaviour and an award for attendance, so all in all we ended this school year on a double high!

that is something to be proud of

Great day for both your kids and their parents!

Thats absolutly brilliant news, you should feel very proud.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments, we have got a treat lined up for them! Even though they are 11 & 14 they have nagged us about going to Lego Land in Windsor, so during August when Hubby has some time off, thats where we are taking them. They don't know about it they think their treat is taking their bikes to the Lickey Hills on Sunday is their reward

Well done to the children and also to the lovely supportive parents they have. Enjoy Legoland and the bike ride. Hope they dont read your post though Star!

aw bet you are SO proud, a family trip to lego land would be wonderful, have a lovely time

What proud parents you must be

They will be chuffed to bits with the trip you have in store for them Star

you have a right to be proud
enjoy lego land and the bike ride on sunday

A proud moment!

Just a sneaky tip, if you haven't been to Legoland before ......
and you intend to get there early . . . . resist the temptation to go through the park methodically A to B (A being the very start with the minature London Scences and B being the far end) Do it the other way around i.e. B to A that way you don't have to queue quite so much and you can enjoy the static displays as you get usherd out at the end!!

Hope you all have a great day out!

Thanks for that advice synical!

Well we did the bike thing and amazingly no plasters were needed! Altho our eldest did erm 'crash' into a tree but he had his skid lid on so no harm done and the tree survived too!

Thanks again for all the nice comments.

I've filled up for you reading it, how proud you must be. Have a good day

well done to your children for getting the awards Star
