Year 6 Blog
Introduction
Welcome to Lydgate Junior School.
We aim to ensure that all children receive a high quality, enjoyable and exciting education.
We feel that our school is a true reflection of the community we serve. Lydgate children are well motivated and come from a range of social and cultural backgrounds. Within the school community we appreciate the richness of experience that the children bring to school. This enhances the learning experiences of everyone and it also gives all pupils the opportunity to develop respect and tolerance for each other by working and playing together. We want your child's time at Lydgate to be memorable for the right reasons - that is, a happy, fulfilling and successful period of his/her childhood.
Yours sincerely,
Stuart Jones

Welcome to the Year 5 Blog page.
The Year 5 teaching team consists of: Mrs Loosley (5NL), Miss Cunningham (5EC), Mrs Ridsdale and Mrs Webb (5W/R) and Mr Bradshaw (5BB). The children are also supported by our teaching assistants: Mr Swain, Mr Jenkinson, Mrs Hornsey and Mrs Allen. We have help from Mr Jones, Miss Lee, Ms Grimsley and Ms Reasbeck too. What a fantastic team!
Our PE days are Tuesday (indoor) and Wednesday (outdoor): the children need to wear their PE kits for school on those days.
Spellings are sent home every Monday, to learn ready for a spelling dictation each Friday.
Homework books (maths and SPaG) will be sent home once a week - the days will be decided by the class teachers who will let their classes know. They will have a whole week to complete the homework tasks.
In our weekly blogs, the children will share some of the things they have been doing at school. Check in each weekend for the latest Y5 news!

Christmas gear
As it is our last week at school until the Christmas holidays, each day we had a fun new accessory to wear. On Monday it was sparkle in Christmas jewellery so children wore all kinds of things: necklaces, earrings, badges and more. Then it was Tuesday, the theme was dazzle in festive head-gear. People wore Santa hats, reindeer antlers and even some dancing turkeys. Wednesday came next, everyone was ringing as the topic was wear something that jingles. Knock 'em dead wear green and red, this was on Thursday; everyone looked jolly and happy. Finally it was Friday, everybody had all their Christmas gear on from the whole week; on top of that they got to wear their own jumpers and t-shirts.
What we were learning
This week in maths we were learning about reflection, transition and the 4 quadrants. We have been editing and then writing up our Lady Macbeth Diary in our Best Work Book. For English we learnt subjunctive mood and in mandarin we made Christmas paper cuttings. Also, we had some games of football in PE.
