Smile guys, it's your last few weeks of junior school.
One last Sports Day.
The weather is consistently fab. Which means the perfect lighting conditions for selfies.
Time to rest and refuel after all those events.
Mummy, Lily and Simba saying hello to Daddy.
We walked Lily to her induction day at her new school.
Then while Mummy and Daddy nipped off for the weekend, Nana and Papa came to look after Lily.
Here she is with her hair done ready for her new school pass photo.
Everyone looked very smart.
It was the weekend England played in the World Cup quarter finals.
They won too!
Ignoring what's on her head for a minute (it was to make Daddy laugh), look at those eyes. That's the absolute spitting image of mummy right there.
All back together for a Sunday barbecue.
At the end of every term, Mummy visits the classroom to see some of Lily's work.
She's done some amazing art, including this take on Picasso's style.
And this coloured pencil reproduction of half a photograph.
The school leaver's party fell on the same night as the England semi-final. Lily's outfit was both snazzy and sporty.
The game was screened at the party venue. Sadly, England lost but it didn't stop Lily having a good time.
She took to the pitch herself playing for one of the school teams in a tournament.
Go girls!
Everyone did very well...
...but then, those goals do look a touch on the wide side.
We spent a fab Friday night sleeping in our summer house.
We had sounds and lights - if you look closely you can literally see Taylor Swift on the record player.
Next day, Mummy and Lily made some amazing decorations for the final assembly.
Last Tuesday morning cross country meet up.
Then it was time for the leavers' assembly. Every class put on a show and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Lily and her friends sang and danced brilliantly.
Here's a snippet.
Back to the playing field for a girls v teachers grudge match. The headmaster was in goal and the game was fiercely competitive. But it ended in a 3-3 draw.
A quick photo op with the teachers.
Then it was time to get changed for the after party.
It was a celebration for the class of 2018.
There was a disco, which meant there was flossing.
And a chance to say a few goodbyes.
That's it. Lily's been here from reception right the way through to year six. But now it's time to move on.
As a parting gift, she made this drawing of everyone in her class.
Then everyone joined in with the recent tradition of signing each other's uniform.
So we all headed off to Earlham Park in Norwich.
Her T-shirt might give you a clue what the treat was...
Yes, we went to a Little Mix concert.
Having seen Taylor Swift last month, Lily is already a seasoned gig-goer.
Due to the nature of the audience, it was easy to get served at the beer tent. But the queues for face glitter and candy floss stretched back for miles.
Lovely photo.
Lily tried to take a cool selfie, but...
We had a lot of fun hanging out together.
Here's an arty aerial snap.
Then, the moment she'd been waiting for...
...Little Mix!
After the performance, we stayed over at Nanny and Grandad's.
Nanny Rachel joined us.
As did Winston the cat.
After we'd eaten, there were several games of giant draughts. Lily was determined to beat Daddy. And sure enough, after a couple of games she did.
She's a big girl now. No more juniors. It's off to High School in September, but she's had a fantastic seven years here. It seems like no time at all since she first put on a Chalkwell uniform ready for her very first day.
Have a great summer holiday lovely girl. We know you'll do brilliantly at your new school.
