  We present results of a search for extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the
Large Magellanic Cloud, which can provide crucial information about the
properties of the first stars as well as on the formation conditions prevalent
during the earliest stages of star formation in dwarf galaxies. Our search
utilised SkyMapper photometry, together with parallax and proper motion cuts
(from Gaia), colour-magnitude cuts (by selecting the red giant branch region)
and finally a metallicity-sensitive cut. Low-resolution spectra of a sample of
photometric candidates were taken using the ANU 2.3m telescope/WiFeS
spectrograph, from which 7 stars with [Fe/H] $\leq$ -2.75 were identified, two
of which have [Fe/H] $\leq$ -3. Radial velocities, derived from the CaII
triplet lines, closely match the outer rotation curve of the LMC for the
majority of the candidates in our sample. Therefore, our targets are robustly
members of the LMC based on their 6D phase-space information (coordinates,
spectrophotometric distance, proper motions and radial velocities), and they
constitute the most metal-poor stars so far discovered in this galaxy.
