Other ideas: You could make a holiday scrapbook to show your new teacher. Include pictures, diary entries and anything else interesting. Visit the CBBC Newsround website to keep up to date with current events. As I am sure you all know by now, at the end of this term I am leaving Dussindale Primary School to move to Jersey to be closer to family. It has been a real privilege to get to know and work with your children over the last couple of years, and I leave with many happy memories of my time here at Dussindale.
