What's happening at Northgate?
Little Big Sing brings together multiple locality schools at a host school for a half-day singing workshop, led by a specialist singing leader. West Sussex Music provide resources for two songs for schools to learn prior to the event, which each school rehearse and perform together in a massed choir on the day!
On Tuesday, 15 children from year 3 visited the town hall to view the Unity pledge. The Unity pledge celebrates the diversity and inclusivity of Crawley. The children got to view the pledge and hear about why it is so important, visit the mayor's parlour and even got a biscuit and some juice! They were beautifully behaved and were great ambassadors for Northgate Primary School.
Year 3 have been learning how to quill.
This is a form of 3D collage using strips of coloured paper to make shapes. It needs fine motor skills and a special quilling tool. Here are some of the results!
We were all so excited to meet Guy Bass yesterday. His presentation was full of fun and laughter. The children loved joining in with the silly poems and asking lots of brilliant questions!
Wow! What a fantastic Book Fair we have held here at Northgate! Over the course of the week, we sold over £1500 worth of books: a huge achievement. This shows just how much we love to read here at Northgate Primary. All of your purchases have enabled us to earn £963 worth of free books for our school libraries. Thank you so much!
We ran a school-wide competition, encouraging children to read in unusual places. The winners, chosen by our team of school Reading Champions, then won a £5 voucher to spend at our Scholastic Book Fair.
Thank you to all the entrants; choosing the winners proved to be incredibly difficult!
Take a look at our creative readers!
The Wellbeing Ambassadors have been working with Mrs Knox to create a new display that celebrates how unique and special we all are. They are a fantastic addition to our Pupil Leadership team.
