Memories written by our Year 6 leavers from Owls class - we will miss you!
Mack
I have had so many unforgettable memories at Horsley that it was hard to choose. I remember in Reception class we were all doing colouring and Phoebe stole my red pencil crayon; I started to cry so I ran off to the toilets. It's amazing now to think what was such a big deal back then. Now I am much more resilient! I also remember on May Day in Year 2 that my mum couldn’t do the final dance with me for some reason, so Ed stepped up to the plate and became my partner for the last circle dance. Thank you, Ed and thank you Horsley, for all the great memories. I have made lots of kind and caring friends and I will always remember you.

It was so hard to choose just one memory, as I have made so many at this school. I joined Horsley in Year 4 and I soon became best friends with Iris, Anna, Chloe and Poppy. They always help me make the most of things and they are always making me smile and laugh. Another memory was at the beginning of Year 6, when we got are buddies, who are children from Reception class, there are so adorable. Also, this year I won the best World Book Day outfit, I went as someone from David Walliam’s World Worst Children. Last year with Mr Feldon we went to Bushcraft for residential in Oxfordshire, it rained most of the time but it was still so fun. I learnt some new survival skills like how to make a knife out of wood and some first aid skills we had to carry some of owls we also saved Mr Feldon and Ms Finlow from a plane crash, we had a lovely lady to make some really good food. Thank you, Horsley, for the great memories, activities, sports days, friendships, happy tears and laughs and of course for teaching us. Thank you .

I remember in year 5 on our Bushcraft residential we had just been learning about camouflage face paint and we ran back to the main camp and decided to test our new skills on Mr Feldon, as his head was a perfect blank canvas! The next day, I remember having to calm Barnaby down after he had a mini breakdown because he couldn’t fold his mattress up. Thank you, Horsley, for all of my great memories, I will cherish them forever.

Horsley school will be an adventure I will never forget. I joined Horsley in Year 2 and now I’m coming to the end of Year 6. I have had so many moments at school that I will cherish and look back on in the future, like when we did DT with Mrs Greg and we had to make a boat out of recyclable materials. I added so many embellishments to mine, that it didn’t float, I called it ‘The boat that don’t float’. Or when we did the disabled Olympics and I got an award for most supportive participant. I will leave Horsley with pride, although I will never find out who stole my yellow water bottle! Thank you to the staff and to everyone. I will miss you. Thank you.

I have had so many amazing memories at Horsley but one trip I remember is the time we went to the beach in Year 2; we got to ride donkeys. I remember getting ice cream and dropping mine on the floor - I was NOT happy! I also remember in year 2 when we were watching the polar express, a really special Christmas treat, but Barnaby managed to fall fast asleep. We all got to shout at him to wake him up. Poor Barnaby! Thank you, Horsley, for all the best moments that I will never forget and I hope you will never forget me. I made so many friends I could not live without and it’s going to be hard to say goodbye.
Anna
One of my favourite memories of Horsley School was going to our Bushcraft residential last year; we learnt how to do first aid, make real working traps (only for animals though – not each other!) and we played lots of fun games AND the food was incredible! In Year 2 I remember riding donkeys on the beach in Weston; we each got an ice cream with Mrs Foreman and played on the beach. I have made some amazing friends at Horsley and I’m sure we’ll keep in touch. I have had so much fun and I will miss Horsley School so much. Thank you.
Iris
I have so many special memories at Horsley school but here are a few, the one that I remember the most was at Bushcraft, when we played hide and seek in the woods, camouflaged our face so we blend into the surroundings; we went back to main camp and tested our new skills on Mr Feldon. Another favourite moment was when we were each given a buddy -a reception child - to look after they were all so cute. Something else that has stuck with me since year 4 was when I met all my best friends, they always make me smile and laugh. Last year, we went to Bushcraft in Oxfordshire even though it rained the whole time it was great fun and the food was scrumptious. I learnt lots of new skill like how to start a fire, how to perform CPR and lots of other fun activities that I will never forget. Thank you, Horsley, for all the great times and memories here - I will miss you all!
Barnaby
I have so many memories I can’t tell what is my favourite. In year 5 when we were on residential and we made our own food and it was always delicious, we would come out of our campsites and play games like Name Tag. In year 2 i fell asleep while we were watching a film and Everybody was trying to Wake me up. Thanks guys! I have made lots of friends and I have learnt so much at my time at Horsley. I will cherish everyone’s kindness. Thank you, everyone.
Poppy
I have had so many amazing memories at Horsley, but one springs to mind immediately. When I was in Reception I went to the toilet, I came out washed my hands and dried them afterwards I tried to open the door but it was to heavy I was stuck. I panicked and started to cry, but luckily I saw the Year 6s going out to break so I cried out for help and a boy, who lived up the lane from me, called William, and his best friend, opened the door for me. I ran out and gave him a huge hug.
Archie
I have so many incredible memories in Horsley school. In year 3,4 and 5 we did the panathlon challenge. There were lots of games - it was the best time. We came 4th once and 3rd two times. In Year 5, we did the Knex challenge it was fun and we got to use bits of Knex that we have never used before. In Year 3 we met a man that had lots of insects that we have never seen before but the best insect I can remember is the stick insect I can be camouflage in the trees. My most cherished memory is when I first came to Horsley school, I was scared but all my friends welcomed me in. Thank you to all the teachers at Horsley School.

I have had an amazing time at Horsley and I have a lot of memories here. In year two I remember and man came with lots of animals but one in particular stood out. It was a large toad that strongly resembled a small cow pat as it was a dark green brown and looked like it had melted into the ground. I also remember when we went to Bushcraft were, we learnt how to do CPR; the leader took us on a walk and we found two ‘pilots’ (Mr Feldon and Ms Finlow) ‘dying’, one in an abandoned airplane and the other flung onto the nearby field. We had to perform first aid to ‘save’ them – I was pretty sure we didn’t do a very good job. I will always cherish my experience here. Thank you .
Chloe
There are so many great memories at Horsley but a couple of them stand out to me, I remember one day in Year 6 when it was my turn to be a munch monitor and I sat down at my buddies table (a child from Reception class) to cut up her food and she blurted out that she loved me and gave me a big hug. Last year, we went to Bushcraft residential where we made flags for our team and the leader gave it to me to look after and put it behind a log I was sat on and it got all muddy – thank you. I have met some wonderful people at Horsley – Poppy, Anna, Edith and Iris. Thank you to them for always being there for me. Thank you to everyone at Horsley School – teachers, pupils, Thank you.
Stan
I can remember when Mr Feldon forgot his fob and I went to get it but, on the way, back I skidded on some mud and fell over. The first day at Horsley in Year 3 I knew this was the perfect school for me. Our teacher was Mr Barnet – Year 3 was a great year for me. In Year 4 we had a new teacher who was called Mr Feldon, who is still with us today. In our final year we got our buddies from reception and my buddy was called Regi. Thank you, Horsley for all that you have done.
