Hornby St. Margaret's C of E Primary School

3rd Nov

Give an hour help session

Parents and friends, we need your help to make Hornby St. Margaret’s look its very best. Join us on Tuesday at 3.30pm for an hour of tidying up our School. Bring your gardening gloves, shovels, secateurs, paint brushes, hedge cutters, brushes and shovels and help us clean up the front of the school and the playground at the back. No experience necessary! We will need many volunteers (children included) to help us cut back brambles on the playground wall, tidy the quiet corner, clear gutters, sweep the playground, cut back bushes and pick up the leaves!

We hope many families will join us for an hour as we tidy up our school.

Letters and Sound Red Homework Book

A reminder that Years 1 and 2 have weekly spellings to learn. Choose an activity from the packet at the back of the book to learn them. Return books to school each Thursday. Thank you.

Footwear 

Now the weather has turned for the winter, we just thought we would be clear with the footwear expectations in school.

On a daily basis, children need a pair of black school shoes, to wear in and around school, and then a pair of weather appropriate outdoor shoes/trainers/wellies which can get wet / mucky in and around the playground and field.

All children should also have a pair of trainers or pumps for PE, which should remain in their PE kit at all times. Please ensure all children have these going forward.
