Year 4 Gujarat Hindu Temple Visit!
Tue 11 Oct 2022Today our Year 4 class have taken part in learning outside of the classroom. They visited the Gujarat Hindu Temple in Preston. We headed to the main hall and removed our shoes before being taken to the prayer room. We received a bindi then went straight to the shrine of Ganesh to learn about his legends according to Hindus. After learning about each deity in the prayer hall and marvelling at the beautiful creations on the ceiling, we learned two calming techniques thanks to our Guru! Namaste.

Councillors Visit to Northern!
Tue 11 Oct 2022Today we had an assembly with 2 very special guests! Councillors Andy Macnae and Jackie Oakes came into school to listen to our Northern family's plea to keep us safe from speeding drivers. The children told them all about what we had learnt and why we had written letters pleading for something to be done on the road outside school to keep us all safe. Our school council presented Jackie and Andy with the letters and then told the children they would do their best to help us and gave us 3 jobs to do. Job 1 - display our new banner from Lancashire Highways on the school railings; Job 2 - put a Slow Down Save Lives sticker on our bins at home and Job 3 - speak to our parents about slowing down past our school. Watch this space for some extra road safety features around school!

Year 3 and4 Football Competition!
Mon 10 Oct 2022Today our Year 3 and 4 football team took part in a competition at The Valley. They played well. Some great saves were made by our super keeper Brody N. The team decided their man of the match was Noah who defended so well. They came 3rd and we could not be prouder. They represented Northern well and showed great sportsmanship. We also had some great supporters from our Northern family in Mason and Izzy, who stood on the side line, supporting them and giving them tips and guidance. Special thanks to those parents who helped with transport at such short notice! Well done Year 3 and 4!

Fri 07 Oct 2022Our Key Stage 2 children have been running our very own Snack Club which was a request from our children through School Council. We listened to the request and we put it in place with the help of Miss Collins and the Year 5 children. The Snack Club offers fruit pots every day and on a Thursday and Friday they can choose between a fruit pot and a cereal bar for only 20p! The money raised will go straight back into projects for the children. Thank you Miss Collins and thank you Year 5 helpers!
