As part of our Design and Technology lesson, year 3 looked at seasonal foods from around the world. They researched the foods which can be grown in the UK and ones which we have to transport in. We then planned our Vegetable tart recipe. We tried to keep to seasonal foods from the UK but we also used vegetables from other countries. We learned the health and safety skills needed in a kitchen and then baked our tarts. The tarts looked delicious and most of the children enjoyed them.
Our Eco Action team have been busy again!

Representatives from our Eco Action team met after school this week to continue with the litter pick they started before the holidays - this included the entrance to Lyme Park too. They will be meeting again next week to weed the planters and to set up a mini greenhouse to grow tomatoes in.
Have a look at the photos of our beautiful planters - the fruit trees we planted last year are doing well and are covered in blossom!

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!

As part of our DT lessons, year 3 had to design and make a castle. The children brought in some packaging which they recycled and used for the features of their castle. They also made nets to create cylinders and different types of pyramids. We had some very talented children and some amazing castles. Their castles included draw bridges and turrets in their design.

This week we had a special assembly to celebrate reading. Each class has decorated their door to showcase their class novel and author for this half term. We have now set up a Reading Council and two ambassadors have been chosen as representatives for each class. On Thursday we had our first meeting and came up with lots of exciting reading events that we would like to do over the coming months.
Evie and Rosie in Key Stage 1 were excited to take home our TRENDING BOOK today - 'The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom' by Tom Fletcher.
We can't wait to get dressed up for World Book Day that we will be celebrating on Friday 4th March.

Year 3 were very lucky to go on a school trip on Tuesday. We went to the Deva museum to learn all about the Romans as part of our history topic. Everyone was very excited to be the first class on a trip since lockdown.
We started the day with a tour around the museum by a Centurion. He told us all about the history of the Romans, how they would fight, what they ate, and how they had a bath. We all agreed that the Romans were disgusting.
After lunch, we went on a march around Chester with a Roman solider. We had to carry a shield and chant like a Roman solider. During the walk we visited a real colosseum and learned how the Romans would protect themselves in battle.
We had a great day and there were some very tired children on the way home. Here are some photos from the day.

The Eco Action Team have been very busy over the past few weeks. Along with Mr Brooks, they have built some planters using old pallets and filled them wirth compost and bulbs ready for the Spring. The crocus bulbs were given to school by the Rotary Club as part of their campaign to eradicate polio across the world.
The original planters were very overgrown and were in need to of a tidy up - they have weeded them ready for the Spring.
They have also carried out a litter pick on the field - especially after all the windy weather we have had recently.

As part of anti-bullying week last week, year 3 discussed the types of bullying that could happen. We then talked about how we could help someone who was being bullied. The key theme to anti-bullying week was 'One Kind Word' and based on this theme, we created some posters which we will display in class.

Year 3 completed their Stone Age topic with prehistoric art. They used natural ingredients such as berries and spices to create Earth colours. Next, they created a cave wall and used charcoal and paints to produce their own cave painting. Finally, they painted their hands in a style similar to the Stone age period. It was very messy but a lot of fun.

This week has been Health and Wellbeing week and Arts week. In art, we have been learning about the artist Carl Giles and created our own cartoon picture. Here are some examples of our art work so far.
In music, last term we learned the song 'Three Little Birds' by Bob Marley. We sang the song and played along with glockenspiels. We also learned how to sign the song. This week we will be learning a new song 'Bringing us Together' and also learning how to sign this song. Here are some pictures of the children signing.

Today was World Book Day and our focused book was 'Dreamer'. The children in school and at home read the book and then we looked at endangered animals around the world. We researched why they were endangered and how many were left in the world. All the children really enjoyed learning about this and were shocked at how many animals are at the risk of becoming extinct. We then created fact files of some of the animals and created our own Dreamer story. Here are some pictures of some of the work done in school. Some of the children at home are bringing in their work to display on Monday. We also had a lovely chat with some of the children at home and played 'Who am I?'.

In Lyme, our children absolutely love Maths! On World Maths Day, we asked our KS2 children to tell us why.

The Year 3 children have been learning about rocks and the rock cycle. To help show how rocks are formed and how the rock cycle works, some children at home and those in school made chocolate rocks. It was a lot of fun and very tasty.
Here is how we demonstrated the rock cycle :
Step 1 - Create some magma by melting all of the chocolate. Allow it to flow, like lava which has erupted from a volcano. Allow your lava flow to cool so that you have a solid igneous choc rock!
Step 2 - Expose your chocolate rock to the harsh conditions of the Earth’s surface, or in this case, a cheese grater! Erode your rock and turn it into chocolate ‘sediment’. Your sedimentary rock will be made up of three different sedimentary layers: chocolate sediment, cocoa pop sediment and marshmallow sediment.
Step 3 - This step requires a little more imagination than the previous steps. You cannot add enough sedimentary layers to generate enough heat and pressure to alter our ‘sedimentary rock’. We need an oven to do this for us. Fold the mixture and this misshapen feature looks quite a lot like those found in metamorphic rocks.
Step 4 - Enjoy your chocolate rocks.
Here are some pictures of some of the children at home and in school.

During the Autumn term, Year 3 looked at the different types of natural disasters. The whole class really enjoyed the topic with lots of children continuing their studies at home.
In English, we also wrote our own story based on a natural disaster and the book 'The Flood'.
In Geography we looked at the Earths layers, created a model of the earth and even exploded our own volcano.

As part of World Book Day and linking to our light topic, today we made shadow puppets. We created the puppets based on a fairy tale with a twist. The children did an amazing job and enjoyed acting out the tales.

Year 3 enjoyed learning all about the Stone Age. We started our topic with a visit from Klud who told us all about our ancient ancestors. Over the term, we created cave paintings, made Stone Age stew and built Stone Age homes.

To conclude our topic on the Ancient Greeks, Year 3 worked in groups to research and create a poster to present to the class. Each group were given a different topic to research and they used their own knowledge of what they had learnt, books and ipads to make their poster informatative. The finished posters and presentations were amazing.
