On Monday we had a workshop all about space. The scientist was sat in a big studio which made it more interesting! It was really good - we talked about Hubble and Nebulas and about the Solar System. We also talked about James Webb and space telescopes. The best part was when we played a space loop game at the start because we learned lots of interesting facts. She told us about infra red lights - we found out that a glass can't be seen using an infra red light if there is a hot cup in front of it!
Thank you to our reporters: Spencer, Charlie and Bobby.

Today, Years 1 to 6 have participated in Inter Faith Week Assembly.
Inter Faith Week occurs every November (for 8 days following Rememberance Sunday). The children have thought and reflected on:-
* Friendships amongst different faiths - what this means and how they could be a better friend.
* Social and Community Action Projects - the children watched a video about the creation of the Watford Peace Garden.
In conjuction with the Rights Respecting Team and Miss Evans, the children have been asked to think about:-
What could we do as a school to make to make our community a better place for people of all faiths and religions?
The children have been asked to send their ideas to Miss Evans and the RRS Team before Monday 11th December, 2023.

World Nursery Rhyme Week in Nursery
Date: 17th Nov 2023 @ 12:30pm
This week the children have taken part in World Nursery Rhyme Week. The children sang a new nursery rhyme and completed different activities every day. On Monday it was Jack and Jill-the children painted Jack and Jill and later walked up and down the hill with buckets of water. All the children managed to do this without spilling a drop. On Tuesday it was Hickory Dickory Dock -the children sequenced pictures of the rhyme. On Wednesday it was Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes-the children put jigsaws of their bodies back together and drew around each other. On Thursday it was Row, Row, Row Your Boat-the children made big boats from cardboard boxes and rowed down the Mississippi River, trying to avoid the crocodiles. And finally, on Friday it was The Wheels on The Bus-we made a big bus together and went on a trip as we sang the song.

It was great fun.

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.

It was fun ... if a little messy!
