END of term yesterday had a special significance for two teachers from a North Yorkshire primary school.
Ann Aisbitt and Yvonne Sanderson were saying goodbye to pupils at Wavell Infants School in Catterick Garrison for the last time.
Both are retiring after almost 50 years service between them.
Mrs Sanderson, who has been at Wavell for 17 years, plans to split her time between a home in England and another which the family have recently acquired in France, while Mrs Aisbitt will be remaining in the area, at her home in Hunton.
"I know I'm going to have more than enough to do to keep me busy but I'll still miss the children and staff," said Mrs Sanderson.
The school held a farewell assembly and presented gifts from children and the school
