Although the end of the academic year is beginning to appear on the horizon, there are still lots of exciting days ahead for our Year 6 children here at KA Gomer! As they continue preparing for their transition to secondary school, the children took some time to remind themselves just how many lovely events, opportunities and memorable moments are still to come before the summer holidays. They captured their excitement in this short video, which was accurate as of 5 May. As we are posting it two days later, you will need to deduct two days from each countdown on their lists!

Go Gomer!
