• Year 6's Buddhist Visit!

  Wed 26 May 2021

  Today in Year 6, we have had a virtual visit from Dharmachari Sanghaketu who is a Buddhist which links to our RE topic this term. He spoke to the children all about the religion and the children could answer his questions but also ask some great questions too. He then led them in a meditation session and as you can see, they all took it very seriously. Well done Year 6! 

  

• Defibrillator Fitted and Ready to Go!

  Tue 25 May 2021

  We are now in a position to share with our parents, carers and community that the defibrillator is now in place on the external wall of school next to the kitchen. This allows 24 hour access to the whole community should it be needed. In such circumstances, 999 should be dialled and the location of the school stated to receive a one-off access code which allows the housing unit to be opened. On behalf of everyone here at Northern, can we send a massive thank you to the community for all your support.

  

• North West Air Ambulance Visit!

  Wed 19 May 2021

  Today our Year 4 and 6 children had a visit from Jen who works for the North West Air Ambulance. Jen told us all about the charity and then we had a virtual tour of the helicopter and met the crew! The children asked some amazing questions and Jen went away from Northern knowing what we already did - the children here are amazing!

  In Key Stage One this week we have been learning all about Eid and traditional celebrations.  We have enjoyed trying traditional foods, designing mehndi patterns, taking part in traditional dancing and Year One have even had henna designs on their hands!  Take a look at all the fun we have had.

  

• All Star Cricket Coaching!

  Wed 12 May 2021

  Today across the school, we have had a coach from All Star Cricket. They have worked on bowling, protecting the wickets and how to hold the bat correctly. They then held a competition to see which class could knock the wickets down first and Year 6 won this challenge so well done to Year 6.

  

• Life Education Visit!

  Thu 06 May 2021

  Today we have been meeting Harold the Giraffe! He has been in school and working with every single class on a variety of topics all linked to our PSHE curriculum. The children have worked really hard and Harold has been very impressed with the children here at Northern! He is back tomorrow to work with the classes who have not seen him today! Ask your child what they have learnt and who they have met!

  

• North West Air Ambulance Donation!

  Wed 05 May 2021

  Today at Northern we had a very important visit from Jen at North West Air Ambulance Service. She came to Northern after hearing about our amazing fundraiser which has allowed us to purchase 3 defibrillators around our community as well as make a donation of £1360.30 to the Air Ambulance who rely on donations to be able to keep providing this life-saving service. It was attended by Anna from Anna's Cafe Bar and Dawn Taylor from Rossendale Community First Responders. The cheque was also presented by two of our own pupils - Benjamin and Lola!
