As we have mentioned in the ‘Dates to diarise’, please note that the staff have their Christmas lunch on the last day of the term, 4th Dec, and therefore there is NO STAY AND PLAY on that day. Please be sure to fetch your children by 12.30pm on 4th Dec. We will give the Stay and Play children lunch at 12 noon on that day.
CHRISTMAS PARTY 4TH DEC
As is tradition at FHPPS, we have a Christmas party for the children on 4th Dec. and Father Christmas arrives and hands out gifts to the children.
Please be sure to bring a gift wrapped, and with your child’s name clearly displayed on the outside, to the office by Thursday 28th November, so that Father Christmas will have a gift to hand to your child.
