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 Morning!

  Fri 30 Sep 2022 Mrs Melvin

  Today was a chance for parents and their children to come into school to enjoy a brew, a slice or three of cake and have a good old natter whilst at the same time raising money for Macmillan. The children had a Colin the Caterpillar hunt to complete and Leo from Year 1and then the adults got the chance to win prizes galore in our raffle! Many thanks to everyone who attended and to all those who donated cakes - we could not have done it without you. We managed to raise over £230!

  

• What an amazing team!

  Thu 29 Sep 2022 Mrs Ewens

  Our Year 5 and 6 football team did an amazing job at their tournament yesterday. It was a nail-biting game which had to go to penalties, but we won that and got through to the final match! With Miss Collins cheering them on from the sideline, the team played an outstanding game but unfortunately didn't claim the title. However, Miss Collins and all the staff at Northern could not be prouder of them for the resilience and sportsmanship they all showed. Go team Northern!

• Year 6 Speed Monitors!

  Wed 28 Sep 2022

  Today our Year 6 children took to the road with Lancashire Police to monitor the speed of motorists travelling through Weir towards our school. Staff and children are working closely with the police to try and get more restrictions in speed as people pass our school in order to keep us all safe. The children witnessed for themselves the speed at which some people choose to travel at despite being in a residential area near a park and a school. The children understand the speed limits and the stopping distances and we want a 20mph restriction outside our school. Well done Year 6!

  

• Year 5 and Year 6 Football Competition

  Fri 23 Sep 2022

  Today our school was represented twice over in the football competition held at the Valley Leadership Academy. Great news - Team A are through to the finals. They played outstanding and when they were not playing they stood on the side line cheering, supporting, and advising Team B. Their manager (Luke) was proud of them. Team B never gave up. They supported one another and helped with the nerves. They kept going and came 4th. Their manager (Luke) was proud of them. They loved the Northern team spirit of Team A! Well done everyone! We are so proud of you all!

  

• Welcome to the Northern family!

  Tue 06 Sep 2022 Mrs Ewens

  We look after children AND parents at Northern.  We know that dropping your child off for the first time can be difficult so we hope that a relaxing brew and some tasty biscuits might help.  We have also put a few tissues in there for parents, just in case!

  Keep looking at the website to see how much fun the children had on their first day.

  

• Happy new term!

  Mon 05 Sep 2022 Mrs Ewens

  It was amazing to welcome you all back to school this morning.  Seeing your happy, smiley faces come through the gates was just what all the staff had been waiting for. Remember to check class pages to share all the amazing activities and learning you have been completing.
