May Fair
Sat 12 May 2018Today was a fantastic opportunity for children and their families to spend quality time at our renowned May Fair. The school hall, classrooms, yard and field were transformed into an array of stalls selling homemade products, a face painter, hot and cold drinks, BBQ, games such as Quoits and Guess the Lego along with the Northern-famous Chocolate Tombola. We had Beat the Goalie, Airplane Target, Plant Pot Ping Pong and the Lolly Lucky Dip. We even had our own Photo Booth where families could dress up and take some weird and wacky photos. We were entertained by Fusion and 2nd Rossendale Scout Band and it was hosted by our governor who made the most of our sound system. There was a raffle and lots of winners won an array of fantastic prizes. More importantly, we raised over £1300 so a massive thank you should go to the PTA who organised this amazing event as well as staff and volunteers who gave up their time to help on the day. Finally, can we say a massive thank you to everyone who attended and helped raise so much money!

All Stars Cricket
Wed 09 May 2018This half term, Year 2 have been very lucky to have cricket sessions delivered by All Stars Cricket. Peter has been teaching them the objectives and background of cricket, the skills they would need and then they have also had the opportunity to practise these skills in a cricket match against their team mates. Peter was impressed with how quickly they picked up the skills. The children have already taken home information about the All Stars Cricket as this is a private club which children can join if they have enjoyed learning and playing cricket. If you would like any more information, please contact school or it can be located online too. Well done Year 2. -
Football Friendlies.
Mon 07 May 2018This week has seen the KS 2 boys from Northern take on football teams from 2 other local schools. the first was against St. Saviour's at home and the second was away against Britannia. We are delighted to announce that they won both matches with significantly heavy scores. They won St. Saviour's 6-0 and Britannia 7-0. A massive congratulations to all the boys who played in the matches and who battled the elements bravely! A huge thanks must go to the parents - Mr Welch in particular - who supported the children and also provided transport. I know the boys would also want to thank Miss Collins for organising the matches as well as running the football club. Well done Northern!

Move and Learn with Accrington Stanley
Wed 02 May 2018This half term, we have had Josh Cooper from Accrington stanley's football academy working with our Year 5 class. There are 6 sessions that provide plenty of opportunity for cross-curricular work that links a variety of subjects such as Literacy, Science PSHE, PE and Maths. During these sessions, one half is when the children learn about the body, how to look after it and how to use it correctly. They the other half is the practical part where they build on skills week on week. Josh has been impressed with the children and their engagement with this initiative. Well done Year 5!
