• Deerplay Remembrance Service

  Fri 11 Nov 2016
  On Friday 11th November, pupils in years 4,5 and 6 shared in Bacup Rotary Club's annual Service of Remembrance at Deerplay War Memorial. As always they were a credit to school and their parents. This year was made even more special as it was broadcast by Radio Lancashire. Work written by the year 6 children was read out throughout the radio programme and then the Remembrance service was aired. If you would like to listen to the radio programme you can follow the link on the 'Useful links' tab of the website. The service was also streamed on the Radio Lancashire Facebook page. The comments from members of the public who listened to the radio programme or watched the live streaming of the service are testimony to how amazing the children at Northern are. During the Remembrance Service some of the Year 5 and Year 6 children used sign language to share the poem 'Flanders Fields' by John McCrae - a huge thank you to Miss Scott for teaching them this.

• Signing Flanders Fields

  Thu 10 Nov 2016

  We had a very special singing assembly today where the children learned Flanders Field sung by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.
  During this assembly, we were very lucky to learn the first chorus in sign language. Many thanks to Miss Stott who spent time teaching the children this wonderful skill and please take a look at this short clip.

• Bethany Project

  Wed 09 Nov 2016

  Today we have been very lucky to have listened to and learnt about the Bethany Choir. The Bethany Children's choir have travelled from Tanzania, Africa to educate and inform people about the living conditions, cultural differences, poverty and lack of opportunity that children face in their own country. Tanzania is one of the world's poorest countries. The Bethany Choir travel around to bring an awareness of the work of Bethany which hopes to break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness through Education and by adopting a positive Christian perspective on life. They sang and told heartwarming stories and the children were definitely moved by their performance.
