Northgate Primary School

We wish all of our families an enjoyable break. 🐣Don’t forget to have a go at our reading competition! 📚

🎡⚙️ Year 6 DT , Science and Computing – Victorian Fairground Project 💻✨

Our Year 6 pupils designed and built motorised Victorian-style fairground rides, applying their science learning on electricity to create working circuits that powered their models ⚡🔋

They then used a crumble kit to programme movement and bring their creations to life! 🎠

A fantastic blend of history, engineering, science and coding — we’re so proud of their creativity and teamwork! 👏✨

🦉✨ Amazing Animal Encounters! ✨🐍

What an incredible morning our children had discovering fascinating facts about all kinds of creatures — from birds and mammals to reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates!

They got up close to spiders and snakes, observed their amazing features, and even had the chance to hold some of them! 🌿

There was so much excitement and curiosity as we explored how different colours, shapes, and special adaptations help animals survive in the wild. 🐸🦋

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this unforgettable learning experience possible! 💚

Celebrating Harvest Festival 🌾
Last week our school came together to celebrate Harvest — a time to reflect on gratitude, generosity, and community.
🌻 Reception and Key Stage 1 shared joyful songs and learning with their families, showing how thankful they are for all we have.
🌾 Key Stage 2 led their own assembly, reflecting on how our school values shine through the act of giving and caring for others.
“The true spirit of harvest isn’t just about gathering food – it’s about sharing it. When we give to others, we live out the values that make our world a kinder place: Gratitude, Generosity, and Unity.”
Thank you to all our families for your generous donations to the food bank and for celebrating the true spirit of harvest with us! 💛

💚 World Mental Health Day 💚
Today we marked World Mental Health Day with a lovely ‘Tea and Talk’ session for parents, hosted by our Well-being, Diversity and Inclusion Council and our wonderful Pastoral Lead, Mrs Rodgers. ☕💬
It was fantastic to see families coming together to share, connect, and support one another. 💚
Together, we’re building a community where every voice is heard and everyone feels valued.
