Hello to all of the gang who still check this blog.

Its been really nice to see your comments and see how you are doing. I no longer update this regularly because I assumed you're all too grown up to want to hear from one of your old teachers. You were such a fun class and I really hope that you are happy in your schools and achieving what you deserve.

I'm well and just about to finish for the holidays. I'm still in Singapore and have been teaching Y4 but will be back to teaching Y6 next year. I'm always looking for fun lessons or topics so if you have done anything that you really enjoyed then let me know.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer Term and I can't believe you'll be in Y9 next year!

I feel old.

Take care,

Mr OB

Hi from Singapore

It's been a long time but I have just been on our blog and it was so nice to see lots of you still comment. Thank you so much for getting in touch. It's great to know how you are all getting on and hearing all of your news. You're all going to be huge now I expect as you are Y8 or Y9. I teach Y4, still in Singapore, which is a lot of fun but of course I miss my old classes at Forest Fields.

Did you all have goo summer holidays? I was in New Zealand and was quite proud of myself for doing a bungee jump and a sky dive - it was great fun.

I hope you all have had great starts back to school and you are being good for your teachers.

Work hard and take care

Mr OB

Happy New Year and Gong XI Fa Cai

Hello from Singapore,

I hope you are all well and had a great Christmas holiday. I was back in the UK and visited Forest Fields - it was so nice to see all the children and teachers, it is a really special place. It was odd not seeing any of the Year 6 from last year but it's always nice to come onto the blog and see how you are getting on. I always enjoy reading your comments and seeing what you are up to. Let me know what you are learning about and the subjects you enjoy.

There have been huge Chinese New Year celebrations this weekend (Gong Xi Fa Cai) I was actually in Malaysia but unfortunately I didn't see Ezzety, maybe next time.

It sounds like you are all having the best time in your new schools, you're half way there to becoming big year 8s. I was talking to another teacher the other day about the awesome Year 6s I had the pleasure of teaching last year and the amazing end of year performance you did. Great memories.

Be good,

Mr O'B

Hello from Singapore

Hello to my wonderful former class!

It has been a very, very busy last few weeks and I'm sorry for not writing a post sooner. I hope you are well and have had a great start to your new schools. Happy Eid Mubarak! Did you all have fun? How was Goose Fair? Have you all settled into Year 7 and made new friends? Most importantly I hope you are working hard and doing Forest Fields proud.

I've included some photographs where you will see me in Singapore when I went to Formula 1 race, getting close with my new friend Bob the Python in Australia and being attacked in by a monkey in Monkey Forest in Bali.

I hope you've had a great half term holiday.

All the best

Mr OB

Eid Mubarak

It must be getting very close to you all starting Secondary School. I hope you have had an amazing summer and have lots of stories to tell. I also hope you are all feeling nice and relaxed and ready to start the new term in a really positive way. Remember first impressions count - so make them great ones!

Well, I am here in sunny Singapore and it's a very nice place to live. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and I'm enjoying it (although I do miss my amazing class of 2011). Our school day starts very early - the children arrive at half past 7 and the school day starts at 7:50. Lunchtime is at 11:30, which takes a little getting used to. Our school day ends at 2:50 but almost all the children go to an after school club. So far I have helped out with the golf club and I coached some football today - it was very hot!

My new class are fun - they like football and there are lots of Arsenal fans (in fact Arsenal have a Soccer School based at my new school, which is exciting to see lots of coaches in official kit). Today, we did a bit of 'Let me see your bungalow' as I told them my old class used to like this game - it made all the other classes in the year group look at us like we were very odd.

Here's to a happy end of summer.

Missing you all lots and thank you, thank you, thank you very much for all of your comments - it's been lovely to hear from you.

Happy Holidays

Hi to all the (former) Year 6's.

I hope you are all having a fantastic summer. Post a comment and tell everyone what you have been up to. Mine has been quite hectic as I have moved out of my home, sold my car and tried to fit my life into two suitcases! It is not working very well and I wish I had small feet because my massive shoes are causing me problems.

I fly on Thursday 11th at 11:30 am so it's all getting very real now. I am very excited but also still very sad to be missing all my family, friends and all the wonderful and amazing and super talented children I had the pleasure of getting to know at Forest Fields. As I have said many, many times you are the best year group I have met and I still watch our Year Book which never fails to make me smile.

Here's to you all having a happy and safe summer. I will write a post when I am settled in and put some pictures up. Good luck to you all with your start to Secondary School, you will love it and within a few weeks your little primary school will seem like a distant memory (",)

Thanks for all your hard work this year - I am so proud of what you all achieved.

TERRATARS! AMROCKS! RULE!
