• Fire Safety and Road Sense workshops

  Tue 28 Nov 2023 Mrs Rawcliffe

  On the 28th November, Year 2 and Year 6 were visited by the fire service and took place in two very different workshops!

   

  Year 2 children enjoyed an interactive session, in which the fire service discussed fire safety, checking fire alarms at home, what to do in the event of a fire and what to say on the phone. The children had lots of fun too, trying on the protective clothing.

   

  Year 6 children enjoyed a very informative 'Road Sense' session. The children were given guidance to help with the transition from primary to high school including:

  • The importance of wearing seatbelts and using appropriate car seats
  • Safe cycling including wearing cycle helmets
  • Pedestrian safety
  • Be safe be seen
  • Not causing a distraction when travelling in a car

  All the children took an active part in the session and listened well to the very important advice they were given.

   

  A big thank you to Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service for taking the time to visit our school.

  

• Lest we forget

• Spooky fun at the disco

• Gardening Club

  Tue 31 Oct 2023 Mrs Ewens

  On Monday, the poly tunnel, which was bought using funds raised by the PTA, was officially opened!  Our gardening club began and it is already booked up for the entire year!. 

  Pat (a grandparent to two children at Northern) has worked incedibly hard to secure donations from many local and national companies and none of this could have happened without her support and dedication.

  The children had so much fun learning about the different nutrients to mix into the soil and were able to plant their own broad beans.  Keep checking our latest news to see how we are getting on.

  

• Food, glorious food!

  Fri 20 Oct 2023

  Our wonderful children and families have done our community proud again! We were delighted to display all of the harvest donations ready for being taken to Rossendale RAFT foundation to help families in need.

  We are so lucky to be a part of such a fantastic community.

  Thank you to everyone who donated.
