ARTS WEEK 2019 - Collage inspired by Eric Carle
Date: 21st Jun 2019 @ 9:11am
Year 1 spent the morning looking at how Eric Carle creates his pictures in his story books, They sketched mini beasts and flowers; practised collage techniques (using overlaying) to create different shades of colour; used tools in paint to create different textures and then combined these to make their finished piece.

During our arts week, Y1 were visited by a professional dancer and cheorographer. Following on from children’s geography work this year, we travelled around the UK looking at some styles of dancing associated with each country. Y1 learned some traditional Scottish ceildah dancing, Irish step dancing and a Welsh group folk dance. Very impressive Y1.
How are humans different from tigers?
Date: 20th Jun 2019 @ 8:47am
This week children have been learning about human and animal body’s. Y1 looked at a human skull and compared it with a rams skull. We looked at features that are the same and features that are different between each skull. Y1 then looked more closely at our own body, naming and discussing some key parts of the human body. Super science Y1!

Today almost all the class took part in auditions for our upcoming ‘Lyme’s got talent’ show. Those who didn’t were given the tough job as judges, scoring acts from star quality to effort. The class were very supportive to their class mates during the auditions and afterwards, to both successful performers and to those unsuccessful. In a true democratic way 19 children were whittled to 4 and then 2 acts were voted on based on their act and not popularity. I am very proud at how well the class dealt with successive and defeat, great life lessons learned. Terrific talent Y1!
Learning about volume and capacity.
Date: 16th Jun 2019 @ 2:03pm
Children in Y1 have been learning about the language of volume and capacity. Y1 learned inside and outside with a range of activities promoting the use of mathematical language such as, full, empty, nearly full, nearly empty and half full. Great job Y1!

Throughout this week, we have been celebrating science and famous scientists.
We had the treat of watching a science show and then undertook some science experiments related to our new topio- How would a zookeeper make a dinosaur happy? We began to disect dinosaur dung to find out if it was a carnivore, herbivore or an omnivore. It was a very messy job!

Wow, what a day Y1 had on Thursday. Children learned about the differences between seals and sea lions, how giraffes take leaves from trees, how much a lion eats in a week and why some animals have coloured faces. Observing hundreds of animals, watching the sea lion show and meeting a real zoologist, Y1 have definitely made some fantastic memories that will last a lifetime. Excellent exploring Y1!

In Reception we were reading the story of 'Peace at Last' by Jill Murphy, which we created a story map of and performed for our website (see the link below!). After doing this we decided to make a sequel to the book with Mr Bear trying to have a sleep over in our school and lots of different things happening to keep him awake. When we had finished we turned this into our own book and decided to send a copy to Jill Murphy to show her how much we loved her story and how hard we had worked on our own!
Today we received a lovely parcel in the post, with a letter from Jill Murphy telling us how much she enjoyed our writing. She also included some of her books which we are very excited to read! We are very grateful to Jill Murphy for writing back to us, take a look at the letter below in the pictures!

Science week! Exploring Darwen: Why do birds have different beaks?
Date: 10th Jun 2019 @ 7:09am
To bring our science week to a close Year 1 took part in some animal themed testing. Y1 learned about Charles Darwin, from his passion for collecting to his epic 5 year journey around the world on the ship, HMS Beagle. Children were shown a variety of birds and asked the question, why are birds beaks different? After collecting some answers children were set the open task to try and find out using an array of replica bird beaks in a variety of different simulated habitats. Y1 had lots of fun testing out all their beak theories, from eating, getting through trees, defending themselves and diving into water. At the end of the lesson Y1 were successful at matching each bird (Jay, pelican, hawk, black skimmer) to their correct habitat. Y1 fully understand how Darwin believed each animal adapts it's self to best survive in the environment it is found. Super Science Y1!
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.
Date: 8th Jun 2019 @ 5:40pm
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.
