Today we have raised an amazing £523.66!

Thank you to everyone who donated, the money will go to two amazing charities helping children and families, here and in Ukraine.

The children have had a great week learning some BSL using some helpful videos and tools given by our Teacher of the Deaf - Mrs Wakeling.

The children have been learning how to say hello, sign their name and in keeping with our 'Eat them to defeat them' campaign, the children have been learning how to sign different vegetables with helpful videos from Rayyan - Juniper Class.

Please click here for the videos and tips to help learn BSL and thank you to the children and staff of the SSC for producing such helpful content for us to share and learn from.

Northgate now have 3 baby ducklings! 

To help the children learn about the life cycle in Spring time, we have bought some duckling eggs - and 3 have hatched this week! 

The children have loved watching the process of egg to hatching - now we just need to think of some names! 

School Games Impact Awards: Shortlisted for Opportunity Supporters Impact Award

We are very excited to have been shortlisted for the above award, which highlights our dedication and success in providing competitions and festivals for all, as they progress through the school.  This would not have been possible without the organisational skills of Miss A Hewitt and the hours she spends writing letters, organising the children, collecting kit and making sure everyone can get to their competition.  So far, this academic year, we have attended over 35 competitions (100% of the School Games events on offer) giving over 300 children the opportunity to compete for the school.  Check out our website for some of our team photos from this year!  Sporting Events - Northgate Primary School

Y3 took a trip to The Boulevard in Crawley!

In Geography, Y3 are learning about Crawley and the history of the town. They are also looking at the continued development of Crawley and the designs in place to improve the town. 

Y3 spoke to the contractors about the work they do and have been given the opportunity to design a feature for the middle of the roundabout! If their design is chosen it will feature on the new roundabout alongside the pollinated highway! 

Email from a parent: 

''The office very kindly let me have another pack for my child as she took a shine to her brother's pack and she won’t eat fruit or veg for love nor money so was keen to jump on her enthusiasm for this.

Yaseen got really involved and disappeared upstairs to get ready to battle the veg when he emerged wearing “camouflage” and a “helmet” I wasn’t quite sure what to say but Milo followed suit and she was soon eating /trying carrot, peas and green beans.

The stickers are a incentive although I must say Yaseen is usually great with his fruit and veg but for Milo I’m hoping this will work wonders especially as she’s on the road to school getting ready for September.''

This is amazing! Please let us know if any of your children 'Eat them to defeat them!' If they do please send us photos at office@northgate.w-sussex.sch.uk 

This weeks vegetable is... peppers! 

Some of the year 5 girls were very excited to experience their first football tournament on Thursday with the help from some of the experienced year 6 girls.  

Well done everyone involved!

Northgate Primary children and staff all celebrated World Book Day! 

The children got to dress up as their favourite book character and throughout the day took part in 'Stop, drop and Read!' where the children read their books and take time to enjoy reading.
