MESSAGES FOR SIXTH CLASS: COLLATED BY SARAH WEBB (AUTHOR)It's a tricky time for sixth class. Many of them are missing out on confirmations, graduation ceremonies and other coming of age and transition traditions that they have been looking forward to. While schools will ensure that their special time is celebrated in a number of innovative virtual ways, it is still difficult and they, like all of us, are missing their friends. Bearing this in mind, author Sarah Webb has persuaded an impressive array of authors, writers, sportspeople actors and scientists to come together and record inspiring messages to sixth class children. The messages in their entirety can be found at the link below. Or you can scroll to the place where your heroes have recorded their messages.
