Year 6 Leavers’ Song (Wellerman)
Verse 1
There once was a school called _______ school,
The staff were great and the pupils cool.
For eight long years we grew and grew
Preparing for this day - HEY!
​
Chorus
This is our leavers’ song,
The summer’s here and we’re moving on.
Just time for a singalong,
We’ll take our leave and go!
Verse 2
In early years we played in sand,
And if we cried you held our hand.
Splashing water always banned
We twinkled like the stars – AHH!
Chorus
Verse 3
In Key Stage One we learnt to write,
Sound out words and spell them right.
You really set our minds alight
And sent us on our way.
Chorus
Verse 4
In Key Stage Two our brains aglow,
So many facts for us to know.
Creative juices start to flow
Let’s take this knowledge and go – WHOAH!
​
Chorus
​
Verse 5
Then Covid came and spoilt our fun,
No mixed bubbles for anyone.
We did our work with PJs on:
Lockdown rules for all - BOO!
​
Chorus
​
Verse 6
We’ve learnt what makes a school feel nice,
If we mucked about, we paid the price.
We’ve listened to your sound advice
We think we know it all - YEAH!
​
Final Chorus x2
Our school has been a blast,
The times gone by so very fast.
Memories will last and last
We’ll take our leave and go! (repeat)
Good luck on your next step, Year 6 – keep the beat!
