During our Euro day, we 'travelled' to six different countries in Europe using our special passports. We took part in a range of fun activities and had our passports stamped. Here are some comments and photographs from the day:
- My favourite country was Spain because we drew funny faces in the style of Picasso.
- I liked going to the Netherlands because I liked painting with my fingers.
- I enjoyed visiting Scotland because we played Tug of War.
- My favourite country was Italy as we built towers using cocktail sticks and mini marshmallows.

Year 1 had an amazing time at Knowlsey Safari Park. We looked around the animal enclosures and watched the giraffes being fed from the tallest trees. We wore head masks and joined in/ listened to a member of the park staff telling us about the Savannah Story. Then, we had a picnic before watching a very entertaining 'Sealion Show'. Following this, we watched a 'Bird of Prey' show, and an Baldheaded Eagle flew right over our heads! Finally, we explored the adventure park before heading around the animal park on our coach. The highlight of the day was when a lion and lioness came within touching distance of the coach! What a fun, action packed day we all had. All the children were a credit to our school and I couldn't be prouder of them...well done Year 1!

Year 6 have had a brilliant time at PGL this weekend! We started on Friday evening with a very competitive game of Laser Tag which saw the blue team win. On Saturday the groups took part in the zip wire and then problem activities in the morning - this relied on great team work. After lunch, the two groups came back together for a canoeing session with some getting wetter than others! They finished the day with camp fire songs and toasted marshmelloew. Both groups managed to take part in the giant swing and rifle shooting before the weather turned and a storm was above us for an hour or so in the afternoon. This did not stop us taking part in the high ropes and a very muddy survivor task - buidling a sheltar and making a fire. After tea, we took part in some indoor team games before bed. Before we came home on Monday, the two groups did some abseiling and completed a challenge course. The weekend saw many of the children challenging themselves to do activities they had never done before - we are very proud of them all!

We were delighted to have a visit from the Mayor, Lynn Clarke, and Mayoress, Hayley Clarke, this week. They were accompanied by Mayor's Cadet, Emily, who is a former Lyme pupil and the daughter of our Chair of Governors, Caroline Unsworth. They presented this week's achievement certificates and Headteacher's awards during our celebration assembly and talked to the children about how they serve the community in their roles. After assembly,
our Rights-Respecting Schools Ambassadors talked about our recent reaccreditation of the UNICEF gold award and how they are teaching our community about children's rights. Members of The Singing Stars showed off our art display, including playground mural, and talked about our recent Artsmark Award. Madam Mayor was keen to hear about our PATHs curriculum and how we are hoping to be awarded model school status this year - our B's Buddies spoke about their role in using PATHs during break and lunchtimes to support other children. Some of our Y5 pupil gave our visitors a tour around school giving children from each class the chance to ask them some questions.
Madam Mayor commented that: 'The children were an absolute credit to the school and had lots of interesting questions for us.'

Y5 have enjoyed taking part in Bikeability sessions this week. They have developed confidence when riding and learned new safety skills - especially when riding on the road. Some useful advice:
"Instead of putting your foot on the ground, put your feet on the pedals to start off." (Spencer)
"We learned about how to ride on the roads and how important it is to look when we are crossing." (Sukaina)
"Always remember to look at the road closest to you when crossing." (Rebecca)
