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

• Maple Class love the new library!

  Thu 12 Nov 2020
  Maple absolutely loved their afternoon in our brand new library. First a shared read of SuperWorm, then we read together in groups and finally we went on to an alphabetical book hunt! Miraculously, Mr. Leach scored 20 points to take home the win!

  

• Oak Netball pivots

• Biscuit Henge - Elm and Cherry

  Tue 10 Nov 2020

  Q. What is 5000 years old and can be dunked in tea?

  A. Biscuit Henge!

   

  As part of our Stone Age topic, we've been studying Stone Henge and how it has changed through the years.  We tried to recreate this with sweet monoliths.  We found it so difficult to balance our biscuits that it gave us a real incite into the ingenuity and skills required to build the real one. 

   

  As an added boost to our local community, we purchased some extra biscuits which will be donated to the local foodbanks. 

  

• Who loves books? Cedar love books.

  Mon 09 Nov 2020
  Cedar could not wait to get their hands on our brand new school library. We got to spend the whole morning reading some of our favourite stories. We kicked off our shoes and made ourselves comfortable. We cannot wait to go in there again.

• Clay dinosaurs in Cherry Class

  Wed 04 Nov 2020
  During the first half term in Cherry Class we developed our drawing skills around the theme of Dinosaurs. We focussed on different markings and the sketching of a dinosaur head and dinosaur limbs. All this work has supported our final Art pieces, clay dinosaurs. Look how creative we are!

  

• Lola our therapy dog had a lovely first day in Poplar class.

  Wed 04 Nov 2020

  Thank you to all the children (and staff) for making Lola's first day in school so special. She made a fantastic therapy dog and brought lots of smiles to the classroom too.

  

• Diwali Paper Puppet Show - Elm

  Tue 03 Nov 2020

  As part of our Hinduism unit, today Elm learned about the story of Diwali, the festival of lights.  We watched a video explaining the story, before making our own puppets of Rana, Sita, Hanuman and the diabolical demon Ravana. 

   

  We then used a puppet theatre to retell the story in teams, combining narration with live puppet action to tremendous effect.
