Today, Reverend Chris came to re-tell The Christmas Story to the children.
He re-told the story in the form of 'Knock Knock' - and he acted out all the characters in the story. All the children found it entertaining and it certainly was a different way to re-tell the Christmas Story.
His assembly was finished with a prayer of reflection.

This afternoon author Sean Perkins visited Lyme to share his latest book with us 'Oscar and Ben - The Birthday Party'.
Sean introduced the children to the main characters Oscar and Ben but first they had to wake them up from their sleeping bag. Once the cats Oscar and Ben were awake they sat in our classroom and listened to the story too! Oscar and Ben ventured into the forest to celebrate the birthday of their good friend Mrs Hen.
The story was exciting and entertaining and Sean even added special sound effects. At the end of the session Sean played his guitar and we sang a song about the story.
The children's faces lit up during the story telling session showing us that our children really do share a love of reading. Thank you to Sean for providing our youngest children with such a memorable learning experience.
