Lidget Green Primary School

At Lidget Green we are doing our bit for a safer internet, not just on Safer Internet Day, but everyday. But to mark Safer Internet Day we had assemblies and Year 6 made Glogs (check them out) to get the message across but tomorrow February 10th is the Parents chance to logon and learn.
Come along to the Parents Info session at 3.30 to find out.

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.

Lidget Green year 6 pupils had a special training session to get them ready for the change to Secondary school when they will probably be travelling by bus. Apart from learning how to plan journeys and keep safe, they also did an environmental quiz on bus travel, when some of them learnt that it is not always a good idea to pick the silly answer

There is more than just Maths and Literacy going on at Lidget Green Primary School

On Sept 24th, the children of Lidget Green had a Black Tie School Dinner, when they dined on Shepherds Pie and Jam Roly-Poly and Custard. The children wore either a black tie or a glamorous tiara and some even wore both. The event was held to raise money for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal and linked to a grown up event the night before.

On September 22nd Lidget Green hosted the North of England area final of the Junior Language Challenge. There were children from all over Yorkshire and Lincolnshire taking part in it along with 6 pupils from Lidget Green, Zain, Abdullah, Muskaan, Matten, Ayesha and Tulsi.

The children had already proved themselves in Greek and now faced the challenge of competing against each other in Korean for 3 places in the Final in London.

They played in two heats and the top 12 then competed against each other for the final places. The atmosphere was very tense as we watched Abdullah and Muskaan’s names move up and down on the leader board.

In the final round, all Abdullah’s hard work paid off and he finished in the top 3 qualifying for a place in the Final in London.

Congratualtions to all those who competed, you have all done incredibly well to learn two languages, Greek and Korean in such a short space of time.

And a special well done and Bahati njema! (That’s good luck in Swahili) to the 3 finalists.

So Abdullah let’s see if you can win that trip to Africa, and even if you don’t win that you should feel incredibly proud that you are amongst the top 30 junior linguists in the country.  Maybe we should get Mr Lad to give you some extra tuition if he can still remember any Swahili from when he was a child.

ArtsWeek will be happening twice this year. The last week of the half term was the turn of Key Stage 2 children. The theme was Lines and it was amazing to see the variety of activities going on, all related to the theme.

Key Stage 2 learnt lots of different skipping skills from George

At the end of the day, some of our best skippers impressed us all with their skills.

If you want to get even better, speed skipping ropes are on sale from the learning mentors.

Children in Lidget Green Primary School will be taking part in World Maths Day. You will all be getting a password to log on and play the maths games against children from around the world.

This is the World Maths Day website.
