School in church for end of year service

All Saints CE Primary School filled the church with its pupils parents staff  governors and advisors for the end of year service. The theme was goodbye and go well to Year 6 moving on to secondary schools. Year 6 pupils shared their memories of top moments in their time at the school and there were touching accolades to their Year 6 friends from younger pupils. The whole school sang the Leavers' Song to Year 6 which was a poignant moment. Prayers were led by the children and the school choir sang. Canon David Hodgson talked about the  meaning of goodbye in different languages and how often it is based on a prayer for blessing;   with pupils sharing their knowledge of the word in languages ranging from Romanian to Korean!
Each Year 6 pupil received a copy of the Good News Bible as a gift from All Saints Church.
