Year 4 went to Northgate park and had a picnic as a reward for the end of term. They played cricket and rounders. Jack said " It was the best day he has ever had in school! " Arnika said " The trip was fun."

Thank you to all the parents and supporters who came to watch the Y6 end of year production 'Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies!' The children performed brilliantly and it has been a pleasure to see them grow in confidence.

Book Awards Day!

All the children in Key Stage 2 had an amazing time celebrating the books they've read for the Book Awards. During assembly they all walked the red-carpet and collected their certificates.

Some of the children, those who've made an extra special effort with the book awards, were invited with their families to the after-school celebration event where they received trophies and medals for the books they've read and for the activities and trailers they've made.

It was a fantastic chance to celebrate the love of reading that is part of our school culture!

Today is International Day at Northgate and we are celebrating our diversity and cultures in class. All the children have been invited to wear clothes to represent their culture or home country and we have seen some beautiful outfits!

We also invited parents and carers to our International Lunch  to share a dish from their culture or country with other parents and staff. This has long been a tradition at Northgate that we celebrate and look forward to introducing to as many new parents as possible!

Thank you to all who came and prepared food - it was delicious! 

Are you having a clear out? Do you have some items that will be useful for us to use at playtimes?

This week and next week we are looking for:

• small world toys

Please give your donations to Mrs Nower on the school gates at either end of the day.
