• Phonics Workshop

  Fri 20 Apr 2018
  Today in school, we delivered a Phonics Workshop to parents of our current Reception class. The aim of this workshop was to educate parents in how best to support their child's development of reading and writing. The parents found the information helpful and felt more able to strengthen their child's understanding and knowledge of Phonics. Many thanks to all of the parents who attended.

• Lego Robotics

  Wed 18 Apr 2018
  This afternoon, Northern's hall was transformed into an interactive world of Lego! Parents and grandparents were able to come in and work with their child or grandchild and build robots made of Lego and then use ICT to enable them to move around the hall. Sometimes the children were the leaders and sometimes the adults were but overall it was fantastic to see families working together to produce something really exciting. Well done to all who attended and many thanks to the adults for supporting this event.

  

• Lego Workshop

  Wed 18 Apr 2018
  Northern children and their parents took part in a Lego workshop today which was organised by the Family Learning Centre. The children learned all about how to program their Lego robots and used iPads to move them around the hall. Sometimes the children were the teachers and sometimes the parents became the teachers but one thing is certain - everyone had a fantastic time!

• Girls' Football Competition

  Mon 16 Apr 2018
  Today we showed girl power when our girls football team travelled to Fearns to take part in a football competition. they played with sheer determination, showed amazing team spirit and resilience as well as great sportsmanship for their opponents. For all their hard work, they earned themselves 2nd place and we could not be any prouder of how they played. Well done!

  

• Hinduism Workshop

  Mon 16 Apr 2018
  Today at Northern we had a very special visitor who told us all about the religion of Hinduism. She taught us all about the history of the religion and about the Gods. She explained how each God symbolised a particular aspect in life and the children learned lots from her. Then the children learnt all about the festival of Holi and we finished off the session by creating our own Rangoli patterns using lots of powder paint.

  

• Sikhism Workshop

  Thu 12 Apr 2018
  Today at Northern, we were very lucky to receive a visit from Kash who taught us all about the religion of Sikhism. It is important for our children to learn about all religions so that they have a good understanding of the multi-cultural world we live in. The children showed immense listening skills and asked some very insightful questions. Once again, staff at Northern were very proud of all our pupils.
