Chess Club had a wonderful chess lesson with the intermediate/advanced group! A classic checkmate was demonstrated so easily using a chess board editor available on the web. The children ‘hung’ on every move. Awesome really!
Then we also celebrated Valentine’s Day at Chess Club, by replacing the White Queens with red chocolate hearts and the Black Queen with Easter eggs in our first round of games. Obviously, everybody took extra care of their Queens but nevertheless, there were some big smiles for some adept players who won both queens!
Sport activities is a basis of children’s healthy minds and bodies. Furthermore, funny sport activities are much more better! On Friday 17 February, the learners from Grade R - 3 at FHPS participated in a Fun Sports Day. There were 3 legged races, duck in a pond races plus group races for each class and even moms & dads. (Teachers were excused!) The parents supported their children very well! After lots of fun, the children could join their parents for a picnic. The teachers of FHPS wish to thank parents of our pupils for their great support in carrying out this event!
On Thursday, 9 February, 51 of our swimmers took part in a gala held at Reddam where there were 10 other schools. This was our first experience of a proper gala, and we were extremely excited, and also a bit nervous! Our children looked smart, were very well behaved and also swam their best races ever. We are very proud of them all. Swimming at FHPS is still developing, but we can now see some improvement. Thank you to the dedicated coaches, who looked very smart in their new clothes, thanks to Mr Williams. We also want to thank our wonderful parents, who were there in vast numbers to support and encourage their children.

The 3 U10 cricket teams have made a superb start to the season, winning 6 out of 7 games. Most of the boys are still U9 but are getting to grips with the skills of the game. There is a long way to go, but the boys, and girls, are learning fast. Keep the U10 cricket machine rolling!!!
