Lidget Green Primary School

Children in Year 5 had some special visitors – two firemen from Fairweather Green Fire Station. The firemen spoke to us about:
House fires and how to get out quickly,
Hoax calls to 999 as this can cost valuable time and lives and;
The importance of everyone wearing a seatbelt in the car so that you stay safe.

They also said that we need smoke alarms fitted in our houses and they’re free! All you need to do is ring the firestation on 01274 544466 and some firemen will come and fit them for free. They’re really important as it takes less than 3 minutes for a fire to spead and by detecting the smoke early, it gives you and your family more time to get out.

The afternoon was brilliant fun and we learnt a lot. We mostly enjoyed getting dressed up in uniform; even Miss Leyland had a go!

The staff and the rest of the children would like to wish Good Luck to the children doing SATs next week, Mon 13th -Fri 17th May. You have worked hard all year and this is your opportunity to show what you can achieve.

We wish success to everyone for all their hard work!

Just remember, do your best!!

The winners of Mr Pope’s homework challenge went to Cakes & Shakes this afternoon.

I think they enjoyed it by the BIG smiles on their faces!

KS1 had a lovely day exploring Lister Park.

Year 3 had a great time at Kingswood. They did lots of different activities.

Mr Pope’s February Half Term Homework Challenge has proved to be a really great success! We received 162 pieces of homework  this  time, which was even more than last! This means that over half of KS2 completed the challenge and gained rewards. One winner was picked for each class and they will be receiving a special reward!  There was also a special prize given to the class who had brought back the highest amount of homework. Children  received house points and Capella & Vega came in joint 1^st place, Procyon 3^rd place & Antares 4^th place but it was very close! I hope you are all proud of your efforts because we are!  Well done everyone!

The Winners!

Yesterday the Archery Team came 2^nd in the Bradford West 3 Archery Competition. This was a fabulous result as they only had one practice before the day. On the team there was; Lama, Caitlin, Armaan, Raheem, Abbass, Shaunna, Ramisah. Lama was our highest scoring archer of the day.

Now the team have their sights set on the gold at the next Archery competition in the summer!

Year 5 and Year 6 have had two wonderful days at the seaside. The weather was kind to us and the children were fantastically well-behaved. They were friendly, polite and enthusiastic about everything they saw and did – a real credit to their families, to the school and to Bradford. Well done – I was proud to be with you.

We are looking forward to reading your stories.  They need to be in by next Wednesday 27th March 2013, so you have plenty of time! Do your best!

I wonder which House: Antares, Capella, Procyon or Vega will bring the back the most homework and get the most points!

Children from Yr 3 had great fun learning to Ski on Friday afternoon.
