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.

• Road Safety Awareness

  Thu 23 Nov 2017
  Road Safety is something we are very aware of here at Northern. A vast amount of work has been completed by pupils to ensure that they understand how to stay safe and what Road Safety is. Today, the fire brigade came into school and 5 of our Year 6 pupils went outside to raise awareness to the drivers travelling past school by holding yellow hand-shaped signs making drivers aware about slowing down and keeping our pupils safe. The children did an amazing job - despite the rain! Well done.

  

• Children In Need Spotacular

  Fri 17 Nov 2017
  Something strange happened at Northern today. The children all appeared to have developed spots overnight. No need to panic though as the children were showing their support for Children In Need and wore spots to raise money for a very worthwhile charity. Thanks to the parents, children and teachers of Northern, we have raised over £185! Massive thanks to everyone!

  

• Harvest Food Donations

  Fri 10 Nov 2017
  As part of our Harvest Festival, the children brought in food donations to help others less fortunate than themselves. During our Harvest Assembly, we had a representative from Sanctuary Trust who spoke to the children about the importance of this festival. We then donated 1 hamper to a member of our local community and the rest of the food collected was donated to the Sanctuary Trust. Please find attached a letter expressing their gratitude and can I also pass on our thanks to all the parents who donated food. 

  

• 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.
