Thank you to the Eco Team and all the children who came to Gardening Club over the Easter holidays. They were very busy bees: creating plant pots and bird houses; preparing the planters; cleaning up the pond area or a nauture garden; planting some fruits and vegetables; creating 3 new bug hotels and planting lots of wild flowers to help maintain and attract our local wildlife. We were all exhausted after two days of very hard work but are looking forward to seeing our results over the next months.

A huge thanks to all the parents and children who attended the Easter Craft Event organised and run by our Student Council. The children had a fabulous and very creative time and we managed to raise some more money towards our much needed sound system. It definitely got us all ready for our Easter break - Enjoy!

Today, Reverend Chris came to deliver his Easter Assembly.
He told us the story of a leper and about how Jesus came back on Easter Sunday to teach people how to be better versions of themselves.
It was very thought provoking and made the children think about they treat others.

Another fantastic 'Article of the Month' assembly delivered by our Rights Respecting Team. This month's article is 'Article 23 - A child with a disability has the right to live a full and decent life with dignity and, as far as possible, independence'. The ambassadors did an amazing job of educating our school and introducing this month's activities.

National Compliments Day - whole school assembly
Date: 25th Jan 2024 @ 3:51pm
Wednesday 24th February was Natonal Compliments Day. Today we had an assembly to celebrate the process of complimenting and self complimenting. Some of our children shared their own compliments and we watched a video 'The Reflection in Me' about a girl who listens to what her reflection tells her about herself.
The main message was to value ourselves and that when we are kind to ourselves, we feel happier and brighter in general.
The Christmas Story ... Knock Knock
Date: 18th Dec 2023 @ 12:18pm
Today, Reverend Chris came to re-tell The Christmas Story to the children.
He re-told the story in the form of 'Knock Knock' - and he acted out all the characters in the story. All the children found it entertaining and it certainly was a different way to re-tell the Christmas Story.
His assembly was finished with a prayer of reflection.

SPORTS' COUNCIL AUTUMN 1
During this half term, the sports' council have been extremely busy.
Firstly, we discussed which after school clubs children would like to have after half term. The children took this discussion back to their classes and fed back the results to me. The information provided has resulted a few new sports being on offer next half term.
Similarly, there has been a lack of sports equipment on the playground for children to use over the last couple of years. Once again, sports council members spoke to their individuals classes to generate ideas for what they'd like. After half term, some of the equipment suggested will be avaliable for children to use at break times during the day.
Lastly, our sports council members, along with several other members of year 5, have undergone training over the past couple of weeks to become playground leaders. This has involved them creating bespoke games and activities for Lyme students to play at break times. The final part of the training is on Friday where the children will perform their games that they have created for the Sports Development Officer for St. Helens.
It's been a great half term for the Sports' Council. I'd like to thank them for their hard work.

The children shared why stories and storytelling is important. They came up with ideas of events that we could do to promote a love of reading and storytelling. The ambassadors are planning to hold a whole school assembly, will be visiting classes to tell stories and they will even be telling stories on the playground at playtimes!
