YEAR 3 AND 4 SCIENCE WORKSHOPS
Date: 9th Jun 2019 @ 10:21am
The year 3 and 4 children had lots of fun in their science workshops this week. They have been creating their own digestive systems and making lava lamps; which has helped them develop their understanding of the human body and the properties of materials. Lots of fantstic results through their hard work!
Year 5 AND 6 SCIENCE WORKSHOPS
Date: 9th Jun 2019 @ 7:44am
Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic (and slightly messy 
) time exploring the properties of materials; using slime, milk, bubbles and colour. They recorded what they had observed and thought carefully about the 'science' they could see happening. The children used some excellent scientific language to record their ideas.

To finish off a very exciting Science Week this week, all of the children took part in a Science workshop with Adrian Bowden. Foundation Stage and KS1 learned all about 'materials' while KS2 found out more about 'light and sound'. As always, the children were treated to many exciting science facts and investigations and were encouraged to join in and ask lots questions! See the individual class pages to find out what else the children have been doing in class this week!

Today some children from Y5 and Y6 took part in the 'Whittle Cup'. This prestigious schools tag rugby tournament was hosted by St.Helens rlfc at Newton storm playing fields. Team Lyme did us proud narrowly missing out on a place in the quater finals. However the children were soon cheered up when they got to meet some of the current saints players, Luke Douglas and Adam Swift. Great work Team Lyme!

Myself and Mrs Millener are incredibly proud of our year 5 children for delivering absolutely magnificent performances in our Saxon assembly this morning. They spoke clearly, acted their socks off and sang their hearts out. Well done Year 5, each and every one of you are superstars and should feel very proud.

Thank you to some of our reception children who read their own stories to Y6 - they were fabulous!

A great big thank you to our Y1 class today who helped Mrs. Roberts by doing a litter pick and some weeding of the planters on the school field - we have some very keen gardeners!

Today Y1 used their cutting and slicing skills to make their own rainbow fruit kebab. Y1 firstly learned about the importance of washing our hands properly before preparing food then followed their own previously made recipe, trying to make their kebabs, interesting, patterned and use a variety of newly tried fruit from around the world. We had kiwis from China, grapes from Spain, pineapple from Hawaii, plus watermelons, oranges and bananas. Super tasting Y1.
Date: 22nd May 2019 @ 9:54pm
Today in Y1, children learnt how to use a knife to prepare their own snack and observe the differences and similarities of flesh from a fruit. Y1 developed their fine motor control to cut, slice, peel and chop a variety of fruit. Using a knife is a life skill and is another step towards our fabulous Y1’s independence. Top chopping (and tasting!)

Over the weekend Mrs Roberts, Mrs Jones, Mr Widdowson and Mr Devereux ran the Manchester 10K, raising a whooping £700 (plus more with gift aid!) for charity. They all did fantastic and we are all so proud of them al Lyme. We also know some of our parents and friends in the community too part and would like to say a massive Well Done to those as well!
Our summer walk with Scott the ranger.
Date: 17th May 2019 @ 8:15pm
This week year 1 have been learning about plants and the seasons we see them grow. We have looked at some common wild flowers and learned about the parts of plants and their functions. On Thursday Y1 were very lucky to be joined by Scott the park ranger on our summer walk. Scott helped children to identify some deciduous and evergreen trees in our fabulous Lyme Pitts park. Children loved making wild flower bracelets and roaming without the constraints of the classroom. As a thank you Y1 helped Scott to clean up the picnic area from any rubbish left behind by messy visitors. Sensational summer walk Y1.

We were very lucky to take part in a rugby workshop led by James Roby and the other Saints players. We even got to meet Boots the mascot!
Fishy sharing in the aquarium.
Date: 9th May 2019 @ 10:38am
Y1 were tasked today with helping an aquarium to get ready for their opening day. Mr. Devereux had lots of fish and children had to try and put them into equal groups in our fish tanks. Children found lots of ways to share out our fish and even negotiated with other tables when they found an uneven school of fish. Perfect problem solving Y1.
Exteriors, interiors, hinges and sliders. What makes a house?
Date: 9th May 2019 @ 10:24am
This week children have been completing their small scale recycled houses, ready for Mr and Mrs Lego to choose a suitable house to live in. Children learned about some key design features that should be included into their house. We learned about the importance of hinges for safety and we looked at examples around our school on gates, doors and windows. We learned about sliders and how we could use them to add privacy to our house by using them for curtains that could be opened and closed. Children then were tasked to make the interior of their house more appealing by adding furniture, wallpaper and carpets. It’s going to be a very difficult decision for Mr and Mrs Lego. Next we will be evaluating our houses and thinking about what we could do different next time. Well done Y1!
Rights-Respecting Schools Assembly -article 29
Date: 8th May 2019 @ 8:54am
The UNCRC article for this half term is article 29 - 'Education must develop every child's personalities, abilities and talents to the full. It must develop a child's respect for human rights, their parents, other cultures and the environment.' Three members of our Rights-Respecting Steering Group planned and led an assembly on looking after the environment: plastic pollution across the world; reducing/reusing/recycling; looking after our school environment. During the assembly, the children shared some ideas of things they, and the Eco Team, will be doing over this term to help take care of our local environment and also support the wider global campaign.
Date: 8th May 2019 @ 8:43am
Following on from World Book Day, some of the Y6 children wrote stories about the adventures of 'Esteban the Great' (Pea Green Crayon) from the story 'The Day the Crayons Came Home'. They shared them with our Reception class on Friday - they listen really well!

The children had a fun time exploring angles in Magical Maths club tonight. It was the first time the year 5 children had used protractors and they did very well! The children were challeneged to find the smallest and biggest angle, with a chocolatey prize for the winner.
Date: 1st May 2019 @ 3:57pm
A Fanatstic time was had by all when year 5 went back in time to meet the Saxons at Tatton Park. The children looked superb dressed in their Saxon outfits (A big thanks to all the parents for their help with this!) They took part in many activities including weaving, bread making and learning how to use shields when in battle. We learnt so much and have brought back lots of interesting facts to use in our Saxon assembly later this half term,

Today Y1 met Mr and Mrs Brick, our new Lego family. Holly and Mark Brick are in need of a good, solid, suitable home. Y1, using their knowledge of homes around the world are working hard to give Mr and Mrs Brick a lovely choice of forever homes to choose from. Today Y1 looked at the ways house exteriors are made. We looked at a real house being built in time lapse and we discussed the many ways in which we can join material together. Being as responsible as we can, we used lots of recycled material from Easter and began to make strong exteriors for our houses. Next we will be making our interior and looking at how we can add hinges and flaps to make our rooms and windows accessible for Mr and Mrs Brick. Cool construction Y1.
