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!

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.

Tongan Rugby Team Visit
Some of our students had the fantastic oppurtunity today to meet some professional Tongan rugby league players. These players will be representing Tonga in the rugby league world cup. Their first match is on Tuesday 18th October so we are very lucky that they have taken time out of their busy schedule to come and visit us.
The children were very excited and got to ask the players lots of questions. At the end of the session, the players signed posters for the children and got photographs taken with them!
We'd like to thank the players once again. The children loved it!
