We have been working hard in year 5 this week on our Whole School Art project. The theme this time is 'Fairytales'. Y5NL decided to design our own fairytale castles.In ICT we did some research about Fairy Tale Castles to help us make mood boards. We got some pictures from the internet and cut them out…

In Y5BB, we have been working hard in English to complete our first piece of best writing. We were writing about being inside an Egyptian tomb, and have spent lessons building up different SPaG features to make our writing the best it could be. We imagined what it would be like by watching a video of…

We have had a really busy start back to school in Year 5BB. We had lots of fun doing Forest Schools with Rohan from Foresteers. The children (and Mr Bradshaw!) enjoyed making dens, rope swings, toasting marshmallows and drinking our hot chocolate! The children in Y5BB also took over as the teachers this…

Sadly, we can't do this at the moment but we have sent you a PowerPoint and video, all about Year 6, to give you an idea of what…

Last week we had a heatwave; this week we have had lots of rain. It is a good job the nice weather was here for our Lydgate Virtual School Games - it would not have been as much fun doing the activities in the rain. The scores are in and Y5/Y6 came 6th out of 59 schools. Well done everyone!As usual,…

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…

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…
