Goodbye 4.9...

Dearest 4.9 children,

In our mad rush on the last day, I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to all of you.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for being just who you are - fun, sweet, cheeky, chatty, mischievous, funny, obedient and mature and so much more!

It has been my pleasure taking 4.9 this entire year.
All of you have matured in so many ways, worked hard and persevered in your studies and grown so much in character. And for all of that, I'm so proud of every single one of you.

When we bump into one another along the corridor, do not walk away quietly! Do come and say hi to me ok! Well, I wouldn't mind a hug too! :)

Continue to work hard and be the best that you can be!
All the best in all your future endeavors!
Take care my dearest children and till we meet again.... :)

Love always,
Mrs Soon
