National Compliments Day - whole school assembly
Date: 25th Jan 2024 @ 3:51pm
Wednesday 24th February was Natonal Compliments Day. Today we had an assembly to celebrate the process of complimenting and self complimenting. Some of our children shared their own compliments and we watched a video 'The Reflection in Me' about a girl who listens to what her reflection tells her about herself.
The main message was to value ourselves and that when we are kind to ourselves, we feel happier and brighter in general.
The Christmas Story ... Knock Knock
Date: 18th Dec 2023 @ 12:18pm
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.

SPORTS' COUNCIL AUTUMN 1
During this half term, the sports' council have been extremely busy.
Firstly, we discussed which after school clubs children would like to have after half term. The children took this discussion back to their classes and fed back the results to me. The information provided has resulted a few new sports being on offer next half term.
Similarly, there has been a lack of sports equipment on the playground for children to use over the last couple of years. Once again, sports council members spoke to their individuals classes to generate ideas for what they'd like. After half term, some of the equipment suggested will be avaliable for children to use at break times during the day.
Lastly, our sports council members, along with several other members of year 5, have undergone training over the past couple of weeks to become playground leaders. This has involved them creating bespoke games and activities for Lyme students to play at break times. The final part of the training is on Friday where the children will perform their games that they have created for the Sports Development Officer for St. Helens.
It's been a great half term for the Sports' Council. I'd like to thank them for their hard work.

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!
