Hi Moms and Dads

Hope you all had a super weekend. We are all having loads of fun at school doing art activities for Christmas and  organising the children for the Nativity Plays. Time is certainly flying and we will soon be saying good bye to many of our precious children as they leave us for Grade R and Grade 1. The schools have begun to have their Orientation Days and the children are excitedly and sometimes anxiously telling us about their new teacher and classroom. A time of mixed feelings for children. Please keep them close and give them lots of hugs and reassurance.
Congratulations!!
We had a really super evening last Friday night.
 Thank you to all those who helped to make the evening such a wonderful success.
Congratulations to Scarre Celliers who won the R10.000.00. Gabi Laity who came second with R500 and Guiseppe Colonello.

ORIENTATION DAY THIS SATURDAY 15TH NOVEMBER

We expect every child coming back next year, to come to our Orientation day on Saturday 15th Nov from 9am-11am and collect your information pack for next year! Also come and meet your teacher and classmates for 2015. All our extra mural teachers will be available on the day to chat to about their prices per term and what they will offer at our school next year.

EXCITING NEWS

Next year we will be opening up a new Rainbow aged class. That is, we will now have two classes of 2-3 year olds, and will need a teacher to take that second class.
Interviews were conducted last week for the new teaching position and we are proud to announce that Stella Charumbira will be the new teacher in that age group.
Stella is presently the Stay and Play teacher for the Rainbow children.
Congratulations Stella! We know that you will be an even greater asset to our school in this new position.

The Usual Bits

FOOD PARCELS
Thank you to all those who are donating food items each week, into the Mandela Box. 
Donations to Rainbow
We had a much better response for fruit last Wednesday, thank you! Please continue to pop an extra fruit into your child’s lunch box on a Wednesday morning. 

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.

And on that note...

If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders. ~Abigail Van Buren
Regards, Paula

Birthday parties

Our school offers a superb venue for children’s parties, and is available for hire!!! Please come and chat to us in the office if you are interested or email Jane
