• Acts of kindness make me bloom

  Wed 20 Oct 2021 Mrs Marr

  Our Kindness Tree never ceases to make me smile every time I walk in to the school hall. Even though it is Autumn time and the leaves should be falling off the tree I always notice that more kindness leaves have appeared.

  The children at Northern are amazing and even though it has been an extremely tiring half term they still know how important it is to keep making their friends smile.

• Harvest Festival Assembly.

  Mon 11 Oct 2021

  Today we were very lucky to have a special visitor to Northern. Caroline from the Rossendale charity RAFT came into school and told us all about what amazing things the charity does. The Year 6 children also presented her with their posters they had created to inform more people about this amazing charity. She was completely overwhelmed by the generosity of our families here at Northern so on behalf of all the staff here and the staff at RAFT - Thank you so much!
