We have had a heatwave in Sheffield this week and it has been very warm at school - and probably at home too. However, it takes more than a bit of hot weather to stop the amazing Y5 children learning and we have had another very busy (and a bit sweaty!) week. The children at school are now working in…

It has been another busy week, with lots of learning going on, at home and at school. In our English work this week, we have all been looking at some poetry by Jo Coelho and writing poems about our own special places. These children have chosen different places - their garden, their grandma's home in…

Where has the sunshine gone? It has been a very wet and windy week but this has not stopped us from having fun and doing lots of learning. At school this week, there were two 'bubbles' of children, one in the EC area and the other in the R/J area. As you can see, they have been working hard on their…

Here is a special message for you all from the staff at school. As you may know, there is a group on Facebook (Lydgate Junior School - All in this together) which many of your parents have joined. This week, Mrs Allen (and Mrs Dawes) created a lovely display of the photos which have been shared on there.…

It is great that so many of you have sent your photos to the Y5 email address - please keep sending them!This boy has been working on our water topic, as you can see. It looks as if he had fun getting wet. He also created a beautiful…
