• A special festive visitor

• Christmas Pantomime

  Wed 09 Dec 2020

  How fantastic is our Northern PTA! To ensure the children were all able to enjoy our annual Christmas pantomime fun the PTA ordered a digital version of a pantomime for the children to watch in their bubbles. The PTA even provided popcorn for the children to munch on as they watch the pantomime just as if they were at the theatre.

  What amazing fun was enjoyed by all.

   

  Thank you so much to our fantastic PTA.

• A Bubble Of A Christmas Celebration

  Mon 07 Dec 2020

  There was no way Northern staff were going to allow COVID-19 to put a stop to our traditional Christmas celebrations in school.

  The Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 staff all came up with a master plan of how the children would still be able to perform the Christmas story and be able to perform it for their families.

  We hope there wasn't a dry eye in the house when you watched your DVDs at home. Amazing!

  Well, what a busy week we have planned in school this week!  Here are the key dates for you:

   

  Tuesday 8th December - The last day for children to bring Christmas cards in for their friends - this is so we can keep all of the cards together or 72 hours before handing them out to all children.

   

  Wednesday 9th December- Christmas Dinner Day.

   

  Wednesday 9th December - Father Christmas will be making a socially distanced appearance with a sack of presents for each class.

   

  Thursday !0th December - Fundraising day for Luke ( details of this will have come out from each class teacher separately).

   

  Thursday 10th December - Final day to purchase raffle tickets for the chocolate tombola.

   

  Friday 11th December - Christmas Jumper Day and parties/pantomime (as we are ensuring that children adhere to social distancing guidelines as far as possible, parties will involve snacks for the children whilst watching a pantomime which has been purchased by the PTA.  They have also provided popcorn for all children and school will provide other treats too so there is no need for children to bring anything in.)  On this day, children are to wear school uniform but with a Christmas jumper.

   

  Friday 11th December - Chocolate tombola will be drawn.

• United Against Bullying

  Mon 16 Nov 2020

  This week the children across the school have been reflecting on what a difference their actions can make to those around them. At Northern we feel very strongly that every individual deserves to be able to wear a smile every day. This also led in to work on how not only can we make a stand against bullying but we also need to make sure we are taking care of ourselves. Circle time activities were planned by class teachers to help the children focus on the importance of mental wellbeing and how important it is to talk and share.

  To help gain an understanding of how some people feel on a daily basis all the staff and children came to school wearing odd socks.

  Fri 13 Nov 2020
