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

• Rowan Class division by sharing and grouping!

  Thu 27 Feb 2020
  This week in Rowan class we have been working hard on our division! First we learnt how to work out division sums through sharing using sweets and plates! Then we learnt how to solve division sums through grouping by using straws and creating shapes based on what we were dividing by!

  

• Are Those Your Teeth?

  Wed 26 Feb 2020
  Year 3 and 4 had great fun making models of their own teeth using plasticine. We rolled our red plasticine to make gums and shaped our white plasticine to replicate our own teeth. Some of us had a few more gaps than others!

• School Council launch fundraising event

  Tue 25 Feb 2020 P Foulkes
  The School Council voted to support a fundraising event to raise money for St Joseph's Hospice which cares for very sick people in our area.  Each child has been given a tube of smarties to enjoy but then fill the tubes with either 20p's or £1's which they will earn by doing 'jobs' at home.  I'm sure you'll have the cleanest houses in the area!

  

• Check Your Change at the Elm Cafe

  Fri 14 Feb 2020
  Elm class went back to the Elm Cafe on Friday to put our hard work with money into action!  Roleplaying as a waiter or a customer, we took turns to order a delicious meal off the menu. The waiter added up the bill, the customer paid with a £5 or £10 note and then together we worked out the correct change to be given.

• Namaste - Acorn have enjoyed doing Yoga

  Fri 14 Feb 2020
   Over the past two weeks Acorn have been doing Yoga. It is very calming and we see lots of happy faces after our sessions. We hope to continue doing Yoga at least once a week. 

  

• Holly Nursery - Oh no Baby Bear's blankets are all dirty. How will we get them clean? The children decided we need to wash them in some water. Just using water didn't get them very clean but when we used soap the blankets were much cleaner!

• Safari comes to Maple Class

  Thu 13 Feb 2020 P Foulkes
  As part of our Geography topic on 'Kenya' the children explored why the animals are suited to their particular territory.  They then had great fun placing their own cuddly toys in the marked territories around the classroom.  Can you see which animals live in the Savannah, tall trees and the rivers of Kenya?
