Family Camp Night 2017We 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! July 2017 |

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.

The Spring Disco was a great success, and everyone really enjoyed themselves - especially the year 6 pupils in their VIP area!

The glow in the dark face paint was liberally daubed over all the children and tattoos were in abundance. Thank you to the parents and teachers that helped to organise and run the event, selling tickets, setting up and staying to do the face paint, tattoos, nail varnish and snacks (thanks for Mr Orgill who was the bouncer for the VIP area!!)

Christmas Fundraiser 2016Our Christmas Fundraiser for 2016 was a 2017 school calendar. Pupils and staff were photographed by Steve Head, the school photographer, and we produced a fun calendar, packed full of useful school/FoLPS dates for the coming year. We put a lot of time and effort into this project, with the photography and artwork all being done for free and we hope you are as pleased with the results as we are!
We'll let you know how much we raised as soon as we know! There are still calendars available to buy from the school office!!! |

Christmas Fayre December 2016
|
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. Check out these photos from the day: |

Autumn Glow Disco October 2016
|
A huge thank you to all the parents and teacher that helped make this terms Autumn Glow Disco such a huge success.
We made a huge £1,268!!! We tried to streamline the checking in process, and we hope you found the new idea of dropping your kids off at the door a bit easier and it meant that there was less chaos and we were able to get the kids boogying away as soon as they came through the door! We have had some great feedback about the disco, it seems like all the kids had an amazing time! It was so much fun as everyone looked awesome with their outfits on and I loved having my face painted too. The school disco is brilliant, I get to see my friends and buy lots of glow items. I like staying to help mummy as I get to have pizza! October 2016
