Y6: The Final Year

by Matt Goodfellow

‘See that tall, skinny kid with the ball in his hand
sayin see ya later to his mate?
That’s me:
Nathan Wilder
Nate.
10 years old
and a week away from the end of Year 5.’

Life can be tough in your last year of primary school. Tests to take, preparing for the change to high school. Nate is ready for it all, knowing his best friend PS is at his side – they’ve been inseparable since Nursery.

 Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the character of Nate and have found the story very relatable to some of their own experiences.

Archie says, “I like how Matt has written the story in verses so it’s easy to pick up and carry on from where we last read.”

Poppy says, “I wish we could’ve read this before we started Year 6!”

Theo says, “It’s been good reading a text that we can relate to. I hope Nate does well in Year 6.”
