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.

• How do you travel to school?

  Wed 20 Sep 2023 Mrs Ewens

  As a school we are taking part in the WOW-Walk to School Challenge. WOW is a pupil-led initiative where children self-report how they get to school every day using the interactive WOW Travel Tracker. If they travel sustainably (walk, cycle or scoot) once a week for a month, they get rewarded with a badge. It's that easy!

• Northern Explorers

  Tue 19 Sep 2023 Mrs Ewens

  Everyone at Northern is an explorer at school. We explore and celebrate our local environment, the diversity of the people within our community and others and are aware of the rights we have as children. Through lessons, assemblies, clubs and discussions we are able to express our own opinions and celebrate those of others.

  Being a Northern Explorer means continuing these experiences and learning journeys outside of the school environment.

  Take a look at our homework which is aimed at all children across school and as the booklet says, there is no right or wrong way to complete it.

  We would love you to share your home learning with us throughout the year and then we can share pictures on here, in assembly and in class.

  This homework will be supplemented by specific maths and English related homework.

  Please contact staff in your child's class if you have any further questions.

• Raising money for local charities.

  Tue 19 Sep 2023 Mrs Ewens

  As you may know, some of the girls in Year Three took it upon themselves to raise money for a local charity due to their passion for animals and inparticular dogs.  The girls organised this themselves, created posters and ran the event and raised a massive £215.  We are so proud of you girls and Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary are very appreciative. 

  

• Wow, what an amazing thing to do Nora!

  Tue 19 Sep 2023 Mrs Ewens

  One of our Reception children has made a huge sacrifice and has donated 13 inches of her hair to Little Princess Trust - Little Princess Trust (littleprincesses.org.uk)

   

  The Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to children and young people, up to 24 years, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions.

  We also fund childhood cancer research searching to find kinder and more effective treatments.

   

  We are so proud of you Nora!

  

• Looking after our community

  Mon 11 Sep 2023 Mrs Ewens

  On Friday 15th September there will be a cake sale after school (3:15 - 3:40).  This is being organised by two children in Year Three, who are passionate about supporting charities who care for animals and we couldn't be prouder of them.  These two girls have thought of this idea theirselves and are hoping that you can support them by either donating cakes for the sale or buying them on the day (or both!).  If you would like to donate cakes for the sale then please bring them into school on Friday morning. The money raised will really help support animals in need.

  

• We have the most amazing PTA and parents!

  Tue 05 Sep 2023 Mrs Ewens

  We have the most amazing PTA and parents in the world! The PTA work tirelessly to support school and the funds they raise help us to complete many projects that we may not otherwise be able to do. This year, the PTA bought school a poly tunnel and then several of our brilliant parents volunteered to erect it. They gave up hours of their own time to complete this and we could not be more grateful. Thank you from everyone at Northern for all your amazing work.
