Reindeer Run
On Monday, 2nd December, Morningside will be participating in the ‘Reindeer Run’ to help raise money for Homerton Hospital. For this, children will have the opportunity to run around the outside of the school with their peers and teachers, wearing a pair of reindeer antlers. We will be asking children to bring in a pound coin on this day – there will be collection buckets in the main office and on the front gate.

Dangerous toys
With Christmas approaching, I would like to share a list of eight gifts most likely to cause an accident this year published by The Child Accident Prevention Trust.
Is my child too ill for school?
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they are unwell.
It is fine to send your child to school with a minor cough or common cold. But if they have fever or a high temperature above 38oC, keep them off school until it goes away. If they are unwell for a couple of days, seek GP advice.
Winter Sports Camp
Nation Sports are hosting a Winter Sports Camp at Harrington Hill Primary School the week beginning 30th December. This sports camp is free to any children who are in receipt of Pupil premium funding. Click here for more details.
