“Well Done” to The Maths Business!

Mrs T — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:44:24 +0000

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.

Beyond the Dragons’ Den!

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!

Into the Dragon’s Den

Mrs T — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:07:17 +0000

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!

In the newspapers – again!

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.

School is open as normal

Mrs T — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:57:02 +0000

School will be open as normal today.

We are still asking parents NOT to drive on Birks Fold please. It is a bad road at the best of times and with the ice, it is even worse.

Please help us protect our children’s safety.

School will be open from 10 a.m.

Mrs T — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 06:46:11 +0000

School will be open from 10 o’clock this morning, to give people a chance to make their journeys in safely.

If you need to go to work, you will be able to drop your child off from 8.30 but as we will only have a few staff at that time, please only drop them off if you really need to.

PLEASE do not drive on to Birks Fold. It is very icy and children will be crossing the road at various points. Safety has to be our number 1 concern.

School is closed

Mrs T — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 07:16:01 +0000

School is closed today

The roads and paths around school are snowed over and very icy underneath so Mr Pope has decided to close the school for Health and Safety reasons. Please take care if you do have to go out. We will put a message here again tomorrow to let you know if we are open or you can subscribe to text message alerts below.

School is closed

Une question française (A question from France)

Mrs T — Thu, 14 May 2009 13:04:05 +0000

Alain, the Headteacher at our partner school in Ollieres has asked a question:

Do you like French cheese?

You might be able to answer in French. “Oui, j’aime le fromage français ” ou “Non, je n’aime pas le fromage français”

If you want to find out a bit more about French cheese (there are more than 1,000 different types) look at this link:

www.frencheese.com

Post your answers!

(Moi, j’adore le fromage français!)

Do you want to hear my joke? It is no funnier than any of my other jokes, I’m afraid.

You will have to go to my Grumpy Old Teacher page to see it.
