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

• Wheelie Wednesday

  Wed 19 Sep 2018
  Only 129 bikes/scooters in today! Brilliant. Well done to everyone. Can we beat it next week?

  

• WOW! Walk to school.

  Tue 18 Sep 2018
  Thank you to Jane from Living streets who delivered our assembly today to help encourage us to walk to school. Are you up for the challenge!

  

• Fitness Club

  Mon 17 Sep 2018
  Super effort from all those who attended the lunchtime club! You definitely worked up an appetite!

  

• Roald Dahl Day

  Fri 14 Sep 2018
  The children watched a live (almost) video feed from Puffin books where they got to draw like Quentin Blake as well as hear some fascinating facts about Roald Dahl. It was Dahlicious!

  

• Wheelie Wednesday!

  Wed 12 Sep 2018
  Today, the children who had brought their bikes and scooters to school - as part of our Bike or Scoot to School initiative - were allowed to cycle or scoot around the playground. It was lovely to see their big smiles as they whizzed past!

  

• Head for the Day

  Tue 10 Jul 2018

  Following a successful election campaign, Jessica Wilcox was elected by members of the school community as Headteacher for the day, for Tuesday 10th July. Congratulations to Jessica, who ran an excellent campaign, but also to Leah Eastwood, Isabel Martin and Isabella Spence-Robb, the other superb shortlisted candidates.

   

  Jess planned a fun-filled day for everyone. She sent out letters to parents which allowed pupils to come to school in their own clothes, and even allowed slime and squishies at certain points in the day!

   

  On the day itself, she held an assembly where she explained that classes were to pair up (younger pupils with older pupils) to participate in a range of activities. These activities included sports, dancing, origami, a quiz, outdoor art and lego/construction. Not to mention longer playtimes and watching sports or film choices. Everyone had an amazing day, as I'm sure you'll see by the photographs!

  

• Sports Day

  Thu 21 Jun 2018
  Sports Day (Thursday 21st June) was a fabulous day, where our pupils excelled themselves with their speed, stamina and team spirit. It was lovely to see how they congratulated and encouraged each other. This was Mrs Forshaw's first Sports Day here at Lydiate and she was impressed with the behaviour and attitude of all of pupils. Well done everyone!

  

• Royal Wedding Celebrations!

  Fri 18 May 2018
  The whole school had a fabulous day of celebration in honour of the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Red, white and blue outfits, picnics, craft and other activities and even an ice cream treat courtesy of the Lydiate staff!

  

• Tardis in School!

  Tue 24 Apr 2018

  Pupils and staff were astonished to discover a tardis had landed in their playground this morning! And they were even more amazed when an alien emerged!

  Where had it come from? Why was it here?

  Take a look at some of the superb pieces of writing that were produced in response to this puzzling situation in our class pages ...
