Sports Week 2022 - RACE FOR LIFE!

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!

As part of our PSHRE topic this half term Year 2 have been learning about spending and saving money.
As part of our topic we had to raise money for a charity and held a class ballot to decide how we would do this. Oxfam was the chosen charity that received the most votes and the children decided that they would like a hold a cake sale.
A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of the Year 2 parents who donated cakes for this good cause and to all of the classes for buying cakes and helping Year 2 to raise funds.
The children counted the money and they raised an AMAZING £81.55! Thank you so much!

Year 5 Football Tournament
Today, year 5 and two pupils from year 4 participated in a football tournament. The children were respectful, showed good sportsmanship, manners and displayed plenty of footballing talent. After only losing one match in the group stages, we progressed to the semi-finals. We won the semi-final match after a fantastic goal from Nathan. Unfortunately, the final didn't go the same way and the children finished in second place! However, the children should be so proud of themselves after a fantastic effort all afternoon.
Coming second out of sixteen other schools is something to be extremely proud of!

Today is World Read Aloud Day! We read our guided reading texts aloud and watched a news report about a six year old girl from Liverpool who has had her own story book published. We enjoyed listening to her read an extract of her story 'Destiny and the Troll'
At story time we enjoyed listening to a story being read by one of our class mates!
In our history lesson a reading leader was chosen for each group. We had to listen to the statements as our reading leader read them aloud, then we worked together to decide if the statements were true or false. We found out lots of interesting facts about George Stephenson by reading all about him and his great invention 'The Rocket'.
