We Are Reading Workshops
Thu 27 Sep 2018Today the children in Years 4 and 5 took part in a We Are Reading Workshop organised by Lancashire County Libraries. The children looked at the engaging world of books and how to make the stories come alive. This links heavily to our school ethos of promoting the love of reading and encouraging the children to lose themselves in literature. Our visitor was very impressed with all the children's behaviour and participation in the sessions. Well done! -

Mad Science Assembly
Tue 18 Sep 2018Today at Northern, our children were wowed and amazed by the scientist from Mad Science! He told them all about electricity and the children formed their own electrical circuit in order to light the ball. We then used flour, oxygen and a lighter to create small balls of flame which filled the hall with "Wow" and "Oh my's". If your child is interested in the after school club run by Mad Science, letters will be going home today.

Drumming Workshops
Tue 11 Sep 2018As part of Music Week here at Northern, we have had a visitor in school this morning delivering drumming workshops to all the children. First they had to listen to the beat and rhythm, then they had to practise and finally perform it. They were then split into sections and each section had to be performed to a different beat. What a fantastic workshop!

Lazy Monday's Assembly
Mon 10 Sep 2018Today our children were given an amazing start to Music Week here at Northern! They were treated to a live performance from the Lazy Mondays. This is a band made up of a keyboard player, singer, guitarists and a drummer and they played some amazing songs which the children all sang along too as well as dancing to them. The children were smiling all the way through and had a fantastic time listening to the band perform songs from Olly Murs, Katie Perry, Ed Sheeran and The Greatest Showman to name but a few. Well done to everyone who was brave enough to show their talents to the rest of the school. A fantastic start to the week!
