Dear Moms and Dads
A huge thank you to Chantal and her group of Class reps who helped to organise the Market Day that we had here at school on Saturday. It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
Thanks also to the families who supported and came to the event. We had 40 crafters, and over 150 children enjoying the play area.
 
Thanks to the fabulous Fish Hoek Pre-Primary staff who assisted so capably on the day. The organisers and staff were here by 7.30 and left after 2pm. A long but fabulous day.!! THANK YOU ALL!!!
 
The band who played were superb! Thank you to Leonie’s husband and his team of musicians. You guys made the day!! Creating an awesome atmosphere and divine music!
 
Jane is busy calculating funds raised so I will let you know how much as soon as we can.
 
Thanks must also go to the moms who baked cakes and goodies for the ‘Tea Garden.’ And those who donated to our ‘Bric a Brack’ stall.
WELCOME TO FHPPS

MOTHER’S Day at FHPPS
Each year around the official Mother’s Day celebrations, we at FHPPS have our own Mother’s Day at school. We invite all our moms to come to school for the morning or part of the morning to enjoy some fun activities with their children. You are invited to join in with the morning ring and art activities. The children will do a little sing song for all of you at 10am. This will be followed by some tea and cake. The school will provide the cake so you mommies just need to come and relax for the morning. Most important!!!! If you are not able to come, please see if there is an aunty or a friend who could come for part of the morning to be with your child.

It is cut up and shared amongst the class just before story time!
