Family Camp Night 2018

Our second annual Family Camp Night was really well attended with over 20 tents booked! Families began arriving at around 5pm to pitch their tents and the kids had fun with our scavenger hunt and a water fight! There were thunder storms and rain forecast, but they both held off and we enjoyed another lovely, warm evening. Our volunteer chefs, David, Keith and Maddie, did a fantastic job of cooking hot dogs and burgers for around 80 campers and everyone had their fill. The camp fire was lit later on in the evening and the children all enjoyed toasting marshmallows.
We had some great feedback from both parents and children and feel that each year it's just going to get more and more popular!! 
We made £107

Family Camp Night 2017

We had a fantastic time at the first FoLPS Family Camp Night. Everyone managed to get their tents up and the children enjoyed themselves playing games and having fun with their friends. The barbecue went down well and was followed by marshmallows and s'mores round the camp fire and then a round of bingo! The night owls kept the neighbours awake with a bit of singing and jokes round the campfire but we were all tucked up in our beds by 11pm.
​Many thanks to everyone who came, and to all those who helped organise it. Roll on next years camp night!

Magic & Movie Week 2017

For the first time our annual Magic & Movie night was split over two days in order to be able to offer the movie night to our Year 2 pupils. It also means that the Year 6 students had got their SATs done and out of the way and could enjoy the movie! Each child in years 2-6 was given the opportunity to select the film they wanted to see from a list of 6 films and the majority for both nights was Disney's Moana. Everyone that came along enjoyed popcorn, pizza and drinks in front of the big screen.

Nursery, Reception and Year 1 watched Mr Magic's amazing magic show and had a snack.

THANK YOU to all the parents and teacher that helped make this years Christmas Fayre so successful.
​We made £2,450!!!
We had a great turn out from parents and pupils, Santa had a steady stream of visitors and the Rotary Club barbecue was very popular. FoLPS had a small panicky moment at around lunchtime when it was discovered that the bouncy castle was too tall Hall 1 but we managed to fit it on the grass area outside the uniform shed and some of our hardy teachers wrapped up warm to supervise it for the duration of the fayre (thank you Mrs Tew, Mr Fanzo and Mr Orgill)!!!
Our special guest, the Stormtrooper was a particluar hit, we hope everyone who wanted a photo with him managed to get one!
We hope that everyone that had gifts from the secret room were pleased with their surprise, and thank you to everyone who donated cakes for the stall and particularly to Zoe Bilton who made  an amazing cake for the Guess the Weight of the Cake game.
