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.

• Reading Detectives

  Wed 13 Jun 2018
  Today children from Year 4 invited their parents and grandparents into school to take part in a Reading Detectives workshop organised by Mrs Dixon and Mrs Rothwell. The children had to find clues, solve them and piece the evidence together in order to solve the crime. They used our very own Year 6 children to play the parts of the villains and suspects! The parents gave fantastic feedback and the winning family was the Parker family so massive congratulations to them! Another successful event held for parents to work alongside their child. Thank you to those that managed to attend.

• Northern Rocks

  Fri 08 Jun 2018
  Today at Northern, we have been designing and completing our rocks that the children can then take home and hide around Bacup and Weir. This is an initiative run alongside Weir Pride and the children have thoroughly enjoyed spending time taking part in this activity. 

  

• Burnley Football Club

  Thu 07 Jun 2018
  This term, Year 5 will be having sessions delivered by Burnley Football Club linking Science and PE. The children spent time in class learning about health and nutrition and then the second session is spent completing PE games and activities such as Fitness Cluedo. There will be weekly updates on Year 5's class page.

  

• Family Learning Science Session

  Thu 07 Jun 2018
  Today, parents and children could work together on understanding how structures work in Science and what is needed to make a strong one. They also learnt about the properties of materials and built their own structure using coloured spaghetti and marshmallows. The children came back into class and told the rest of the children what they had been doing and it was supported well by parents. A big thank you to those who were able to give up their time and attend.

  

• Faith Centre Visit

  Wed 06 Jun 2018
  Today in school, Year 2, 4, 5 and 6 were visited by Mr Anwar and Ruth from Lancashire Faith Service. They came into school to talk to the children about the Islam religion and teach the children all about what is important in the religion and how to be a good Muslim. They brought lots of objects for the children to look at and see first-hand what relics of the religion look like. They then taught the children Arabic and the children got to have a go at writing their names. A wonderful time was had by all and the children were able to gain good insight into the Islamic religion.
