Its my sons last day at primary school today-thats it,no more kids at primary.I'm a wreck already,theres a leavers assembly this afternoon and I know I'm going to be a right state at it,we really love the school.My sons going to be crying his eyes out,which will make me worse (I will try and be strong and sensible for him).Tbh,its taken me by surprise how I feel.I'm thinking alot today about the child who should be in year 3 of primary school,but we lost at 19 weeks pregnant.And I'm suddenly feeling old.I won't be able to say I have one child at secondary and one at primary,I now have one in sixth form and one at secondary .I know they have to grow up,but its harder than I thought it was going to be.

I remember the day very well our daughter left primary two years ago. It was a very emotional day that we really enjoyed, we took stacks of photos that we often look at and her school shirt that everyone signed is a prize possession of hers! Shes now finishing y8 at secondary, the time just seems to fly by.

Make sure you have some tissues on you, I blamed my "watery eyes" on my hayfever  It took me by surprise how emotional I was especially at their assembly when the teachers talked about the children.

My eldest finishes primary school tomorrow but I shall miss it as I'm working . I'm certain she's going to have a brilliant time at secondary and she is more than prepared for it, but I just have to hear the first line of "One More Step Along the World I Go" and I'm tearful at the moment!

I had a lovely chat with a little girl who must have been about 3 in the supermarket this morning and it just felt like last year I had one that size myself (youngest is 8, I must have blinked and missed a bit). Really looking forward to the long summer break and fully intend to make the most of not having a grumpy teenager (yet!).

Funny I was just thinking about the primary school leavers assembly this morning as our local primary schools is today how sad I was that day 8 years ago. I gave wry laugh at my old self little did I realize then the happiness of a child continues no matter how old they become.

My son is nearly 19 and brings me as much if not more joy as he did when he was 10 and leaving primary school.

Dry your tears there are plenty of years to continue enjoying your children, get caught up in the excitement of the next incredible stage. Saying all that do have a little weep because we all do

My youngest last day of primary was heartbreaking, they did their leavers service with an Mamma mia theme, they sang the song ' slipping through my finger' which goes 'Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile '
(which is basically about her wee girl growing up and slipping away from her,)
at the same time they have a slideshow of each Primary 7 pupil on their first day at school.

Not a dry eye in the gym hall that day

My eldest just left high school this year and with Prom and prize giving etc I was an emotional wreck.

Although i'm sad they no longer rely on me as much (still on chauffeur duties)it's great to watch them growing up to become wonderful young ladies.

Alice waltzed out of primary school for the last time today, came back to the house as her friend was having one of the kittens, and then went to her friends (I dropped them off with kitten).
It will seem strange in September as it will me more or less the first time in over forty years that we haven't had an association with the school as my mum taught there for many years, including as a supply teacher when retired.

Mind you the PTA have told me that I can still help out.

Alice has outgrown primary school and is looking forward to senior school.

Our yr 4's finished today and the Leavers assembly was a little tearful! What really got to me though was when they came to all the classes this afternoon to get their shirts signed by all the staff...felt very odd signing knowing I probably wouldn't see many of them again!

I found that the most horrific thing about moving to secondary school is that your child is now too old to sew trainers for Nike or stitch Gap clothes. The loss of income can be quite drastic.

Oh dear, don't start on that one yet! Wait until you can't say you have any teens! I now have one in late twenties, two in their 30s, time doesn't half fly!
