Northern is an amazing place for our children to learn. In our latest news section we will share with you the latest events taking place across the school. More detailed information can be found on your child's class website page.

• Little Zoo to You

  Mon 14 Oct 2019
  Today Gemma from Little Zoo to You came into school to tell the children all about the After School club she is organising for after half term. She brought her very own Eco-System in and showed it to all the children in assembly. A letter has gone home tonight to tell you all about the club and if it proves popular, names will be drawn from a hat! Good luck!

  

• Autumn Festival

  Fri 11 Oct 2019
  Tonight our amazing Autumn Festival took place here at Northern. We had our infamous Chocolate Tombola, drinks, food and even a sweet stall from Kandy Korner! After we had all eaten and won some chocolate, we headed outside to watch the amazing fireworks display in a yard decorated by brilliantly designed pumpkins. A massive thank you to the PTA and our staff for organising and running the event. A fantastic evening was had by all!

  

• Harvest Celebrations at Northern

  Tue 08 Oct 2019 Mrs Ewens
  We care about our community at Northern Primary School and we have been collecting food for Trinity Baptist Church in Bacup, as part of our Harvest celebrations.  We have also been learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot.  Ask your child all about the difference between the Christian and Jewish celebrations at Harvest time!

  

• EYFS & KS1 World Animal Day

  Fri 04 Oct 2019
  Reception and Key Stage 1 had lots of fun talking about their pets and favourite animals, writing about their pets and drawing pictures.

• One Goal Aspirations Workshop

  Wed 02 Oct 2019
  Today our Year 5 and 6 children took part in a workshop ran by One Goal. This session was aimed at raising children's awareness of taking care of our planet now to create a better future for themselves. They learnt about the 17 goals to improve the world by 2030 and took part in lots of great activities. The children learnt a lot and they were enthused about how they could change our world for the better.

• Macmillan Coffee Afternoon

  Fri 27 Sep 2019
  Today our Year 6 children hosted their own Macmillan Coffee afternoon to raise money for charity. They did an amazing job selling raffle tickets, organising the games and socialising with their families. We raised an amazing £250 so may I take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to everyone who came and supported this event!

  

• We travelled the world for International Language Day!

  Thu 26 Sep 2019 Mrs Ewens

  We had a fabulous day in school today.  Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 experienced lots of activities based on France, Italy and Germany.  We danced, made pizzas and also replicated Monet's bridges over a pond of waterlilies with finger paints.

  Year 3 learned all about France and traditional music, Year 4 found out lots of facts about Russia and in Year 5 they used role play and media to learn about Greece.

  We had so much fun!

   

  

• Mad Science Assembly

  Tue 17 Sep 2019
  Today our children watched our Mad Science Assembly in the hall. The children were wowed by the magic of Science which was all cleverly linked to the Olympic Games. They were watching the assembly to launch the amazing after school club being organised by the Mad Science team for which the letters have gone home today. Please contact school should you require any more information.

  

• Dahlicious Dress Up Day

  Fri 13 Sep 2019
  Today our staff and children came into school dressed as characters from their favourite Roald Dahl books. We had a fantastic variety ranging from Matilda to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to George's Marvellous Medicine to James and the Giant Peach to name but a few. The children have taken part in activities related to classic Roald Dahl stories all day and we even had a parade to show off our costumes. Check out your child's class page for full class photos. Finally, a massive thank you to all the parents for helping make the children's outfits amazing.
