Today, Year 2 attended a rugby festival which was led by the Saints Community Development Team. The children took part in lots of fun rugby activities. They were great team players and enjoyed cheering each other on. The coaches were very impressed with the behaviour of the children and their I CAN do it attitude.
Here are some of the things that the children said they enjoyed about the festival:
'I liked tackling and pushing people over'
'I liked it when we played a mini game of rugby and we had to score.
'I liked it when we jumped over the hurdles and we had to lie on the floor. It was funny'

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.
