King's Coronation Celebrations at Northern Primary!
Fri 05 May 2023Today has been a very special day here at Northern! We have been having lots of fun and doing lots of activities in honour of His Majesty King Charles and his coronation this weekend. We started the day with our special assembly and were delighted to hear our Reception class singing the coronation song to the rest of the school. At lunch, we had a lovely picnic under our amazing bunting and every child was lucky enough to have a hat and flag each!

School Council Crackdown!
Thu 20 Apr 2023Today our school council members from Years 1 to 5 have been out with Kirsty, Lyndsay and Vinnie from Lancashire Constabulary to use the speed gun to monitor the speed of cars travelling too fast past our school. The children spoke to several drivers who were travelling over 30mph to raise awareness of how dangerous speeding is. They then got to try on Vinny's hat and jacket! Well done children on representing Northern so politely and sensibly!

Rossendale Hospice Bunny Hop Challenge 2023!
Wed 29 Mar 2023Last Friday, our school went 'hopping mad!' Every child took part in the Rossendal Hospice Bunny Hop Challenge and tried to raised as much money as they could for a great cause! Plenty of our children also wore their bunny ears that they had made at home and lots of them returned the colouring pictures! Today Rossendale Hospice came to collect the money we had raised which so far is over £1000! We will give you a final total when the monies have all been counted. Here is a picture of our 4 top money raisers alongside Joanna. Well done Northern and a massive thank you to all our parents for supporting this fantastic cause!

Golf Madness!
Fri 24 Mar 2023On Friday, Millie,Lexi, Ruby and Violet were very lucky and got to experience an amazing time at the Valley's very own golfing centre. The weather was not very kind at first but luckily our first activity was under cover on the driving range. The professional taught everyone individually. By the end of the session the girls were fantastic!
Next was Tri Golf which involved lots of games- Violet was successful in the chocolate bar challenge. Millie was scuppered by the wind!
Our final activity was the crazy golf course which suited the girls! They all in all had an amazing time . They all agreed that they would love to return. The golf centre gave all those pupils there a surprise treat of some sweeties. We are glad to say that there wasn't a hole in one!!!!
