Happy summer holidays!
 
To all of our Little Pippins,
I wish that we could all have been together the last few weeks and that we could have a last day together in Little Pippins!
I look forward to seeing you next term when we are all back at school together. I also look forward to hearing about how well you will do in your new class. I know Mr Flitton is looking forward to having you in his class and that you are all going to become Pendragons! (Luckily, Pendragons are a type of apple and not a type of dragon!)
You will have Mrs Mockridge and Miss B with you so I know that you will all look after each other as you start Year 1 together.
Please send me photos of what you get up to in the holidays or send me an e-mail.
Happy holidays and see you soon.
From Mrs Maynard
