7th July 2017
Dear Parents,
Thank you to all of the families who attended the LFPA summer fete on Saturday. There were lots of people enjoying the music, food and drink, entertainment and sunshine. All of the children had a fabulous time on the inflatables and I am sure were completely worn out by the end of it all.
The day would not have happened if it was not for all of the hard work of the LFPA executive committee and LFPA volunteers. On behalf of the whole federation community I would like to say thank you for all of your team work and efforts to ensure that fete was such a success. Once all of the pennies have been counted we will announce the grand total.

Sports Days
You are all invited to join us for the sports days as below. Let’s hope the sun shines so that they can all go ahead!
Drinks will be available but it would be helpful if you could ensure your child has a bottle of water on the day and a sun hat If necessary please apply sunscreen before they come to school for those taking part in morning events. Otherwise send sunscreen into school and we will ensure the children have time to apply it before they go out in the afternoon.
