Lidget Green Primary School

Mr Pope and I were so proud of The Maths Business team (Abdullah, Auzair, Mateen, Raheel, Zain and Zakria) on Saturday. Our stall in Darley Street looked great, the boys worked hard to sell their products and were generally a credit to themselves, their families and the school. They just about sold out of their games and got a lot of praise and compliments from people who visited their stall.

Just in case you missed the last match

Years 4, 5 and 6 are taking part in a project to Blog the World Cup (Now with the Arabic version of the song)

Which of the songs do you like best?

We are responsible for the blogs for Mexico, Uruguay and Slovakia.
The children will be writing match reports, player profiles and information about the countries
Check out their work when it starts to happen on www.blogtheworldcup.net

Have a look at all of our blogs and the others too and see if you can add anything to them.

If you have read the Lidget Green Times you will know that one of our Enterprise teams was successful in the Dragons’ Den.

 ”The Maths Business” Team will be selling Maths games they have devised and made in Darley Street on Saturday 26th June.

As part of their prize they received £100 towards their production costs and will be getting business advice from Jane Vincent the Managing Director at “Candelisa People”, the Bradford recruitment agency.

We hope that lots of you will be able to come to Darley Street on the 26th to support the The Maths Business!

On Friday, two groups of children from Year 6 went to Seabrook House, home of Seabrook’s crisps, to take part in a ‘Dragons’ Den’ event run by ‘Step Up to Enterprise’. The groups had to pitch ideas about products they would like to make and sell; the prize for 30 winning teams from the whole of the Bradford area will be the chance to sell their products from a Market stall in Darley Street in June! In addition, they will get £100 towards the cost of setting up their business plus business advice from the Dragons.

“Frametastic” (Ahmed, Adam, Ibrahim and Saleh) and “The Maths Business” (Abdullah, Auzair, Mateen, Raheel, Zain and Zakria) were amazing! They had come up with some very strong ideas for products, a company name and a company logo, done market research and costings for their product and made samples in the space of just three weeks - and all while revising for their SATS. On the day, they stood up in front of five Bradford Company MDs and pitched their products like true professionals, answering some very challenging questions from the Dragons. Don’t let anyone tell you the Dragons were pussycats – they were SCARY!

We don’t know yet if they are among the winners but…

WATCH OUT SIR ALAN SUGAR, THESE BOYS ARE AFTER YOUR JOB!

Did you see children from Lidget Green in Bradford Council’s Newspaper, Community Pride? Did you see them twice?! Children from Year 3 and Year4 featured in an article about Enterprise  and our Eco Warrior group were on the front of the Environment supplement.

We had a visit from our local cub leaders who told us all about scouting.
This is the powerpoint they didn’t have time to share with us.
They have also said they will answer any of your questions. So if there is something you did not get chance to ask, just post a comment and we will try to get them answered.

We are holding a Dad’s and Kids Only fun day on Saturday 13th March at 11:30 am – 3.30.pm

It’s that time of year again. Everyone from Year 2 upwards will be getting their login for World Maths Day so that you can get some practice in before the big day.

Congratulations to Mrs Buswell and Mrs Ward who both received long service awards from school. They have worked at Lidget Green for 25 years.
