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.

• Remembrance Service

  Fri 10 Nov 2017
  Today was a special day here at Northern. Years 4, 5 and 6 walked from school all the way to the War Memorial at the top of Deerplay and took part in a service to remember the service men and women who lost their lives for our freedom. The children bravely battled the elements to represent Northern and, as usual, they did us immensely proud. A special mention should go to our Year 6 class who worked together to produce the readings for the service and a special thank you to our readers, who read beautifully. 

  

• Northern's Harvest Assembly

  Wed 25 Oct 2017
  Today at Northern we held our annual Harvest assembly. The children have been working hard and learning all about the Harvest Festival. Parents have been very generous with their donations and as a result of their generosity, people in our local community will receive some lovely food hampers.

  

• Northern's Autumn Festival

  Fri 20 Oct 2017
  Tonight, Northern held their annual Autumn Festival. Parents and children were treated to a spectacular bonfire and fireworks display. Our famous Chocolate Tombola was again a huge success and families were able to relax with a nice warm drink in our spookily decorated hall. The renown pumpkin competition was another success of the evening with some very creative ideas. These were displayed for all the children and adults to view.

  Welcome to our brand new school website! We have created the website to keep parents up to date with school news and notices, and to showcase some of the great things our pupils are achieving. The website is extremely easy to edit by all staff at the school, so check back soon for new updates!

• Dahlicious Dress Up Day

  Wed 13 Sep 2017
  Today we saw Northern Primary School children into characters from Roald Dahl books. Since the start of term, all classes had chosen a Roald Dahl book and planned lots of exciting cross-curricular work around it culminating in a fantastic class display within their class to celebrate their work. The children then took part in a parade to enjoy and celebrate everyone's costumes.

  

• School Disco

  Fri 30 Jun 2017
  On Thursday 29th June 217 we held our end of year disco.

  

• May Fair

  Sat 13 May 2017

  Our May Fair managed to survive the elements and a magnificent time was had by everyone. It was opened by the Britannia Coconutters, followed by 2nd Rossendale Scout Band and our entertainment concluded with a performance by Fusion Dance. We would like to say a huge thanks to the PTA and to everyone that helped out and donated prizes because without this support, the fair would not have been the success it was. We raised a massive £1156.47 so thank you to everyone who attended.

  

• World Book Day

  Thu 02 Mar 2017
  We most definitely did not let the weather defeat our enthusiasm for and our love of characters in books. The school was flooded with amazing book characters as children across the school dressed up as their favourite book characters. It was wonderful to see how many different characters appeared in school from picture books to novels. For more information about what our classes got up to during World Book Day have a look at the different webpages for each class.

  

• Robin Hood

  Wed 01 Mar 2017

  In school today, the whole school enjoyed a mesmerising performance of 'Robin Hood' performed by the actors from the Story Magic theatre company.

  

• Mad Science!

  Tue 28 Feb 2017
  This morning at Northern, every child watched a mad scientist at work. The hall came alive with experiments! The theme of the assembly was 'Sound' and the children learnt all about what sound is, how sound travels and how sound can be amplified or changed. The children were immersed in scientific vocabulary such as prediction, hypothesis, vibrations, resound, waves, air and many more. Some children were lucky enough to be chosen as helpers and did a great job. We also made a chicken, tiger and a dinosaur using an empty yoghurt pot, string and some water!?! Finally we experienced fire and how it can be used to make sound. 
  An excellent time was had by all and Tom (our Mad Scientist) was impressed with the answers the children gave to his questions. A letter regarding the after school club will go home this week.
