• A Victorian Christmas

  Our Year 1 children enjoyed a trip to Gawthorpe Hall to experience a Victorian Christmas, what a wonderful morning.

• Sleeping Beauty

  Wed 04 Dec 2019
  Today our children were entertained and amused by Story Magic's performance of Sleeping Beauty. This show was a fantastic treat for all our children and they sang songs, made us laugh and made the classic story of Sleeping Beauty come to life in our hall. This was paid for out of the PTA funds which we are incredibly grateful for and why it so important that support for their events continues as it allows your child to enjoy such rewards. Hope you all enjoyed it children as the teachers certainly did!

  

• Carols Around the Tree

  Wed 04 Dec 2019
  Last night was Bacup's annual Carols Around the Tree which included the lights switching on countdown accompanied by children and adults singing We Wish you a Merry Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Silent Night. There was also a visit from the big man himself - Father Christmas who gave goodies out to all the children. May we say a massive thank you to those parents brought their children along. It was very much appreciated!

  

• Athletics Competition

  Wed 27 Nov 2019
  Today 17 of our Year 6 children represented Northern in the Athletics competition at The Valley. They worked hard and competed well in all of  their events. It was one of the closest qualifying stages in the whole competition and only 16 points separated the qualifying teams. There were some nail biting moments! The children showed phenomenal team spirit and sportsmanship and made us immensely proud. Well done team!

• A visit from The Bethany Project

  Mon 25 Nov 2019 Mrs Ewens

  Today we were so lucky at Northern as The Bethany Project came to our school.  All of the children and their teachers were extremely inspirational and we were honoured that they felt they could share their life stories with us. 

  They performed several songs which really impressed all the children in our school.  They also showed us how they carry water when they live in the villages of Tanzania.  Girls as young as seven carry containers of water containing 10 litres and the older children and ladies can carry up to 30 litres on their heads.  It made us all really think about how lucky we are to have access to fresh running water at all times.

  Thank you for taking the time to visit us at Northern.
