Celebrating Differences - Everyone Can Sparkle! is the theme for RSE Day this year. In Year 2 we watched a live assembly and spoke about what made us sparkle and what makes us unique. We made 'sparkly' flags to celebrate our differences and created a class paper chain too!

At our Starbooks cafe this week Year 5 were given the title of a book - I ATE SUNSHINE FOR BREAKFAST. They predicted what the book might be about and everyone expected the book to be a fiction text. However the book was an information text - a celebration of plants around the world.
'I Ate Sunshine For Breakfast' is the winner of the Garden Media Guild Awards.
The children read extracts of the text to find out key facts about plants and nature. They used collage materials to present some of the fascinating facts from the book in an artistic way. The hot chocolate and cookies went down a treat too!

In PICTURE NEWS we watched a video about the 'Monk Skin Tone Scale' which is being used to help the Google search engine be more inclusive of different skin tones. Crayola have created coloured pencils and crayons to reflect a wide range of skin tones and we used these to create our own self-portarits.

At Starbooks this afternoon Year 4 enjoyed talking about the pictures in the wordless story 'FLOTSAM' by David Wiesner. Flotsam is a book about a young boy who stumbles across a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera as he is collecting flotsam that has been washed ashore.
We looked at the pictures to music and discussed what was happening in them. Using a page of the story as inspiration of our artwork we created fish collages using recycled materials. We use plastic bags, bottle tops and cotton buds - things that sometimes end up in our seas and oceans.

SPORTS WEEK 2022
This week has been Lyme's sports week!
During the week, the children were exposed to a few sports that they may not have chance to play outside of school. One of the sports the children played was Ultimate (Ultimate Frisbee). The children loved the fast pace of the game and how they have to work as a team to get the frisbee over the line! Another sport was Orienteering. This sport was the polar opposite to ultimate frisbee. Children had to use maps to navigate around the school grounds and find a number of markers. When they found a marker, they would stamp the special pattern onto their sheet. When all of the markers had been found, the children returned to their teacher. Lastly, KS1 were introduced to Boccia. This is a game similar to bowls. However, it is played sitting down. This game is played in the paralympics at an international level. The children enjoyed the game and loved trying to get their balls as close as they could to the marker.
On Monday, Year 6 played at a football tournament were top goal scorers in the entire tournament. Unfortunately, they were knocked out on penalties in the semi-finals. This doesn't reflect how one-sided the semi-final actually was. Lyme hit the post and bar several times but again, unfortunately, luck wasn't on their side. I would like to congratulate Year 6 on their effort during the tournament and in particularly their behaviour which was fantastic throughout.
On Wednesday, we had a visit from Tara Jones and Katie Mottershead who both play for Saints women's team. Tara is also an England international and is in the squad again to play France tomorrow (on Skysports Arena, 18th June at 5.30pm). Tara and Katie were inspiring and a lot of the children were lucky enough to get their picture taken with the pair.
Lastly, the whole school took part in the race for life today. Each pupil has trained all week to perform this race and they should all be so proud. Every child that completed the race received a medal for their hard work.
Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic sport's week. We hope you enjoyed it!

At our Starbooks cafe this afternoon Year 3 listened to the award winning story 'The Tin Forest' by Helen Ward.

Year 5 have been exploring different types of bridge structures as part of their DT topic. They have used kebab sticks and masking tape to create a Truss bridge structure. It took a lot of hard work and perseverance but they made some fantastic models and were very proud of their achievements.

We enjoyed a week of celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Year 6 focused on the 1960's decade. We looked at art from the 60's and listened to the music that was popular at the time. Most of the children are now fans of the Beatles. We researched key events that happened during this period. We ended the week with a little party.

The children have really enjoyed finding out about The Queen this week. They have loved dressing up and pretending to be The Queen sitting on the throne, painting her portrait, making crowns, writing facts about her and much more. The week was finished off with a lovely picnic.
