Tom Palmer visited Lyme today.
Tom is an award winning author and has sold over half a million books. He met with Year 5 and 6 today to answer their questions and tell them all about how he became an author. Tom even did a book signing session and lots of children have started to read his books already.
Thank you Tom for inspiring us to read and write our own stories.

What a fun time we all had celebrating World Book Day. We all dressed up with a 'word' theme. The costumes were all amazing! We enjoyed listening to lots of stories and took part in a whole school assembly to learn about the importance of reading and the benefits of developing 'a love of reading'.

Y3's Class assembly: The Romans
Date: 23rd Feb 2023 @ 10:40am
Our Y3 children shared their history learning with their families today by performing a play all about The Romans. They tried so hard with learning and delivering their lines; developing thier drama skills and performing several songs - including one with sign language.
They have thoroughly enjoyed this topic - especially the unusual parts, for example using vomit rooms and shared baths! All the children can now answer the key learning question: 'What did the Romans do for us?'

As part of their current PSHRE topic Year 2 wanted to raise money for a charity. After a class ballot the results showed that the children wanted to raise money for a national charity that helps animals.

Well done Year 2!

As part of Children's Mental Health Week Year 2 took part in lots of activities following the 5 ways to wellbeing. They enjoyed learning in the outdoors and taking notice of the things around them and stayed active in aerobics and yoga sessions.

Today, Year 4 got on a coach and travelled to Liverpool.
During our morning session, the children were taught all about how the River Mersey was used by people and how it enabled Liverpool to grow into such a massive city. We discussed how goods were transported by sailing ships and eventually huge cargo ships, and also discussed what types of cargo used to come in and out of the city using the river. We found that all sorts of goods were brought into the city from exotic animals like parrots and monkeys to china plates, tea and wool.
After a quick 30 minutes for lunch, we marched across Liverpool to the World Museum. Here, we looked into one of our upcoming topics... The Egyptians. Our guide talked about how Egyptians mummified each other after they'd died. We even performed a mummification ceremony! (It wasn't for the faint-hearted!) As we were doing this, our guide explained about the importance of different Egyptian gods and Egyptian hierarchy within the process.
As a staff, we were all extremely proud of the behaviour of year 4 and the manner in which they conducted themselves around the museums and through Liverpool itself. The children had an excellent time and seemed to enjoy the gory details of mummification in particularly!

During Children's Mental Health week, we took part in lots of different activities to promote positive mental health. We enjoyed an outdoor scavenger hunt which encouraged the children to look for things which made them feel happy/relaxed in the natural environment; we talked about the benefits of being outside on our mental health. During Reward Time, we made 'breathing wands' which can be used to support us when we have uncomfortable feelings, decorated biscuits and did 'scribble art' - all activities to support positive mental health.

Year 5 enjoyed their Lego workshop which gave them chance to develop their design and technology skills to create a fairground ride.
This is what some of the children thought of the workshop.
PARKER
Thursday has been a great experience for Year 5 we have engineered Lego with codes. We made a fairground ride with Lego man Nick it was indescribable. I would rate it 10/10.
PIPPA
It was really fun to build and it was really cool how we could make it move and decorate it however we wanted. I give it 10/10. It was very intresting but it was a bit hard to make. We made a vertispin and it was really cool how it went up and down.

This week in Forest School the children were able to experience the winter weather firsthand because it had snowed. We took every opportunity to explore the snow- making tracks, observing it and feeling it. The children were all really excited.
After that, the children made Fairy Fires. Mr. Brooks explained all about how fire is useful to humans but it can also be very dangerous. The children then had a go at using the strikers to light their own Fairy Fires. All the children had their own fire either lit by themselves or with help. It was fascinating watching the fires.

As part of our English Learning, we have been reading the text "Escape from Pompeii".
This week, we have taken part in some drama activities - Conscience Alley (where we were either Tranio or Livia and had to give our reasons for leaving Pompeii). Then we worked in groups, to take part in role-play - acting out the scences from the story.
It was fun and we were able to understand how the characters in the story felt.

This week at Forest School the children were learning about winter. They found out that during winter the birds often go hungry because there is not much food around for them. All of the children made a bird feeder to hang in their garden.
