Hi Moms and Dads
We had a super morning here at school on Saturday for our Open Day. The sun was shining and we had over 20 families come to see our school. They and their children enjoyed the activities set up in the classrooms and outside in the garden.
It was lovely to chat to them and share our wonderful school with them. We are filling up fast for next year and we remind parents, please if you are thinking of moving your child away from our school to let us know by the end of the term-giving us correct notice but also enabling us to accept the vast amount of children that are being placed on waiting lists. |
Lavender Drive
Lavender bushes are now being planted along the pathway to the office. Plants or donations can be taken to Jane in the office. Thanks for your support! For every 10, 1L yoghurt cups brought in, we will receive 1 lavender plant. So please collect!! |
My School Card
Please see the attached My School Card initiative. If you have not got one or have one but need to add Fish Hoek Pre-Primary to your beneficiary list, now is the month to do it. You can fill out the forms in hard copy and hand it in to the office or do it on-line. This is a very easy way of getting funds for our school. Please support! |
'Wormery'
We have started a ‘wormery’ in our vegetable garden. Please send in your veggie peels!!!!! |

FLOWERS- Thursday morning!!!!
The children will be making posies to give to their granny on Friday morning after their sing song.
Please could you help us by providing flowers and greenery that the teachers can use for the posies.
The flowers will be shared amongst the children and become part of an activity that the children do on Thursday morning for their granny.
Flowers can be brought to the children’s classroom on Thursday morning.
The Angelfish Class do not need to bring flowers as they will be giving their grannies something different. |

PLEASE CHECK LOST PROPERTY DAILY!! AND REMEMBER HATS AND SPARE CLOTHES!!!!!!!
RAINBOW EDUCARE
We are collecting fruit for the next few weeks. Robynne will provide the yoghurt.
Please could you pack in an extra fruit on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Thank you!!
SPARE CLOTHES
Please remember to pack in some spare clothes for your child each day, particularly the younger ones. The children often need to change for various reasons and it becomes a little tricky when there is nothing for them to wear!!!
FACEBOOK
We love sharing pictures from the school day. Teachers only put photos up on Facebook once a week. Any parent who does not want their child’s photos to appear on Facebook should let their teacher know. www.facebook.com/fhpps. |
