What's happening at Northgate?
What a wonderful day we had on 6th June, recognising and celebrating empathy as our new school value.
The children enjoyed learning about empathy in class and also sharing stories about empathy with other children from across the school.
Play Rangers are go! Mrs Hollands and Mrs Clark have been busy training the Rangers up and they have enjoyed supporting the other children during playtimes this week. These student leaders are really excited about their new role.
The children in Reception have been learning the story of The 3 Little Pigs in class. They have enjoyed building their own houses and retelling the story in their writing.
Keep an eye out for some exciting changes to our Year 2 area. Thank you to Mrs Arditti and Mrs Arditti's mum and dad for organising and helping!
As part of Year 3's Egyptian learning, we have been writing a diary entry from the perspective of Howard Carter when he discovers Tutankhamun tomb.
Year 4 brought their learning from their mountains and rivers topic to create some brilliant topography models. The children accompanied their models with labels and then presented their understanding to the group, showcasing their broad knowledge.
Year 4 consolidated our Mayan learning with the help of Robbie from 'Past Productions Theatre'. We had a fantastic day, filled with engaging and purposeful learning opportunities.
Over the past few weeks, Year 1 have been practising their drawing skills. Today they used all of the skills and techniques they have been practising to help them to complete a 'half' picture. Their amazing flowers have blown us away!
Year 2 have been learning about inspirational women who have changed history. Today there has been a protest march which arrived in Mrs Harrison's office, demanding that women should be allowed to vote.
It was lovely to welcome so many parents into school today for the Year 1 poetry performance. The children were superb: individual pupils welcomed the parents and explained their learning and the whole year group performed their poetry perfectly!
