On the last day of the 2022/23 school year we had our annual leavers assembly. We said goodbye to our wonderful year 6’s, who now enter the next stage of their schooling, we wished them every luck for the future. We also said goodbye to class 1 teacher, Mrs Prior, who has been teaching at the school for 17 years, we thanked her for all her hard work over the years & wished her every happiness in her retirement.

The pupils, with Mr Jones & Mrs Hartland, have been working hard over the last few weeks to learn & perform two very special leavers songs. Mrs Hartland adapted the words for Mrs Prior!

The words to the Mrs Prior’s leaving song. Sung to Sweet Caroline, words cleverly adapted by Mrs Hartland.

Verse 1

Where it began, joining you in Class one,

Everything was so much fun,

Moved through the school,

Learning and always smiling,

Years move so fast but it’s time to go.

Thanks, lots of thanks,

Looking out, teaching me, missing you.

Chorus

We say goodbye – Mrs Prior,

Our time with you has been so good (so good, so good, so good),

But now it is time – Mrs Prior,

We will miss you, of course we would.

Verse 2

Good times we’ve made, memories to last a lifetime,

Gardening, Forest School and fun,

We’ll never forget,

You are such a great teacher,

The Bryn Offa family is the best.

Thanks, lots of thanks,

Looking out, teaching me, missing you.

Chorus x 2

We say goodbye – Mrs Prior,

Our time with you has been so good (so good, so good, so good),

But now it is time – Mrs Prior,

We will miss you, of course we would.
