Here you will find out about all of the exciting things we take part in at Lydiate - both in and out of school hours.

• Sefton School Uniform Bank

  Sun 21 Jul 2019

  Did you know that you can donate your second-hand uniform items to the Sefton School Uniform Bank at any point throughout the year? The nearest drop-off point is The Meadows Library, so while you are there doing the Summer Reading Challenge, why not re-cycle your children's uniforms and help out others in need?

• Year 5/6 Victorian's Day

  Thu 11 Jul 2019
  Sycamore, Birch and Oak have been learning about the Victorian period of history. Today, all classes were given the chance to come in dressed as a Victorian. Some of the outfits were brilliant. Teachers adopted the role of a strict Victorian educator - some children seemed surprised with the strictness of their teachers. Sanctions such as the Dunce's Hat and holding dictionaries were administered - all in good in fun. The children, also, had to the chance to bake some Victorian oat biscuits - they went down a treat. Finally, we were very lucky to show our wonderful parents the work we had been doing that day.

  

• Year 1 and 2 Canal Visit

  Thu 11 Jul 2019 P Foulkes
  Rowan, Cedar and Maple walked to the Leeds/Liverpool canal today to explore animals in their habitats, how the canal was built and do some observational drawings of the fabulous narrowboats that we saw.  Sadly, we could not avoid some rain showers but it didn't stop us having a brilliant time!

  

• Parental Engagement Week

  Wed 10 Jul 2019
  We hope you are enjoying the chance to learn alongside your child during our Parental Engagement Week - a first for Lydiate Primary. It has been a super experience for both children and staff so far! We have very much appreciated your support, and hope to organise many more similar events in the future.

  

• Head for the Day

  Wed 10 Jul 2019
  The current senior leadership team of Mrs Forshaw, Mrs Allen and Mrs Laycock had plenty of time to relax today as Miss Isabella Campbell took over as our new headteacher! Along with her able assistants, she ran the school for the whole day! Her duties included taking a rewards assembly, organising a very important lesson highlighting the dangers of plastic waste and directing classes as they took part in a range of exciting activities. Along with own clothes and party food, the children had a ball. Very well done Isabella for organising an excellent campaign and a very enjoyable day! Mrs Forshaw, Mrs Allen and Mrs Laycock had a particularly nice time - look out for the photo showing what we got up to!
