3rd May
The sun shone for the annual walk to Wray Scarecrow Festival; thank you to the parents who accompanied the children, it is always good to see the displays and appreciate the effort that the community makes.
The next couple of weeks are relatively quiet in school leading up to SATS week starting on Monday 13th May for year 6 children. Please encourage your child not to worry about these. They do need to be at school to try their best and that is always good enough.
Please remember there is no school on Monday, it’s May Day!

Mrs Cottam plans to put up the reading challenge display next week, if anyone has any more photos please email them into school early next week using this email bursar@hornby.lancs.sch.uk
