This evening our school yard was transformed for our Year 6 class to hold their prom. The weather was kind to us and we managed to spend it outside having picnic boxes and listening to great music provided by our DJ Michelle. The children all looked fantastic and all arrived in style. Great to see you all enjoying it!

Today our Key Stage 2 classes have held their virtual award ceremonies. The children have all received certificates for a variety of reasons which makes Northern a unique and special school. We have also awarded our Year 6 children the trophies passed down from Year to Year such as the Joshua Whittaker Trophy and the Mrs Simpson Art Award. Well done to teachers and children for making it a memorable assembly for all!

The class of Year 6 were lucky enough to be able to spend Saturday at Hothersall Lodge where they enjoyed a packed day of activities such as canoeing, climbing, caving, team challenges, rope bridges, swimming, toasting marshmallows, building shelters, rescuing ducks and surviving storms! Thank you all for a memorable trip!

Today our children in Years 4, 5 and 6 received training in how to stay safe around water. They learnt how to spot dangers, how to keep safe and how to help someone in danger. They all provided some really good answers and Helen was very impressed.

We had a super time at our Teddy Bear's picnic this week.  All of the children in Reception Class brought in their favourite teddy and we had a lovely picnic.  Then it got even more exciting when the ice-cream van arrived and we all had huge 99 ice creams!

Today at Northern we have held our Northern's Nest Grand Final! We were very lucky to have 2 local business owners come into school to listen to our children's sales pitches and ask them all about their ideas. Anna and Lee were very impressed with all 3 entries and found it extremely hard to choose a winner but they did! They gave the overall winning idea to Caylen, Kyla, Chloe and Isabelle for their eco-friendly design so well done to the girls! They awarded Benjamin best presentation and ingenious idea and they awarded Max B and Jackson with the best advert in their pitch! Well done to everyone who took part!
