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.

• Macmillan Coffee Afternoon

  Fri 28 Sep 2018
  Today our Year 6 children hosted a coffee afternoon in order to raise funds for Macmillan. The children made buns, sold raffle tickets, encouraged parents to play the Pin the Cherry on the Cake game and also spend time with their families. A fantastic time was had by all and we raised a grand total of £200. Massive thanks to those parents who attended and those that contributed buns, cakes and biscuits. It would not have been the success it was without your efforts!

  

• We Are Reading Workshops

  Thu 27 Sep 2018
  Today the children in Years 4 and 5 took part in a We Are Reading Workshop organised by Lancashire County Libraries. The children looked at the engaging world of books and how to make the stories come alive. This links heavily to our school ethos of promoting the love of reading and encouraging the children to lose themselves in literature. Our visitor was very impressed with all the children's behaviour and participation in the sessions. Well done!

• European Languages Day

  Wed 26 Sep 2018

  Today at Northern, the children were learning all about languages in other countries. It was lovely to hear the children trying very hard to master and understand a completely new language! Some children learnt songs and dances and some also did some food tasting. Reception learnt some Italian, Year 1 learnt some France, Year 2 learnt some Portuguese, Year 3 learnt some Spanish, Year 4 learnt some Russian, Year 5 learnt some Greek and Year 6 learnt some German. Well done to all the children for trying their best!

• Mad Science Assembly

  Tue 18 Sep 2018
  Today at Northern, our children were wowed and amazed by the scientist from Mad Science! He told them all about electricity and the children formed their own electrical circuit in order to light the ball. We then used flour, oxygen and a lighter to create small balls of flame which filled the hall with "Wow" and "Oh my's". If your child is interested in the after school club run by Mad Science, letters will be going home today.

  

• Drumming Workshops

  Tue 11 Sep 2018
  As part of Music Week here at Northern, we have had a visitor in school this morning delivering drumming workshops to all the children. First they had to listen to the beat and rhythm, then they had to practise and finally perform it. They were then split into sections and each section had to be performed to a different beat. What a fantastic workshop!

  

• Lazy Monday's Assembly

  Mon 10 Sep 2018
  Today our children were given an amazing start to Music Week here at Northern! They were treated to a live performance from the Lazy Mondays. This is a band made up of a keyboard player, singer, guitarists and a drummer and they played some amazing songs which the children all sang along too as well as dancing to them. The children were smiling all the way through and had a fantastic time listening to the band perform songs from Olly Murs, Katie Perry, Ed Sheeran and The Greatest Showman to name but a few. Well done to everyone who was brave enough to show their talents to the rest of the school. A fantastic start to the week!
