• History Day

  Thu 18 Nov 2021

  Thursday is History day for the whole school, pupils are asked to come dressed as a significant individual from history or dress to represent a significant era.

   

  Years 5 & 6 will be having a World War II evacuation experience day and to make it as realistic as we can we are asking children to come dressed in role for the day.

  The day will begin with the children being *evacuated' and we will walk down to the Hardy Hall where they will experience the selection process before returning to school to enjoy a range of different activities including code breaking, war time cookery, drama and lots more!

  Do you know why Greta Thunberg has travelled to Glasgow this week?

  Have you heard of an incredible man named David Attenborough?

  This week, the children at Lydd Primary have been thinking in class and assemblies about these eco facts and discovering more about COP26; where more than 200 world leaders met this week in Glasgow to discuss climate change and solutions to help our planet.

  Find out more information about COP26 and fun facts here: https://www.natgeokids.com/.../nature/what-is-cop26-glasgow/

  We look forward to seeing your Tapestry posts with anything you have found out or watched at home to do with COP26 and why not log any topical reading onto the Go-Read app too!
