I WONDER if you at Andover Advertiser would kindly allow me a few lines to honour and say thank you to the pupils in purple class at Shipton Primary school?

These wonderful children are so talented and have honoured me by showing their art work and poems along with some great limericks.

Mr Bennett, the headmaster, has said that their work can be seen on Shipton primary web page and I promise it is well worth taking a look.

Can I take this opportunity to say well done and thank you not only to the children of purple class but also to their parents, as their children are well behaved, have excellent manners and exquisitely turned out?

Your children made an old woman happy and proud and we have the best children anyone could ever wish for. Go to the top of the class people and take a pat on the back.

Shipton Bellinger can hold its head high in raising great youngsters and their talent is second to none. Shipton primary school is kept spotless by Derrick and Rosemary Stubbs and it takes credit for having an outstanding headmaster.

Well done all and it’s great to have such a tip-top newspaper, the Andover Advertiser.

Josie Smith, Hedges Close, Shipton Bellinger
