Sports Week 2022 - RACE FOR LIFE!

Date: 17th Jun 2022 @ 3:51pm

SPORTS WEEK 2022

This week has been Lyme's sports week!

During the week, the children were exposed to a few sports that they may not have chance to play outside of school. One of the sports the children played was Ultimate (Ultimate Frisbee). The children loved the fast pace of the game and how they have to work as a team to get the frisbee over the line! Another sport was Orienteering. This sport was the polar opposite to ultimate frisbee. Children had to use maps to navigate around the school grounds and find a number of markers. When they found a marker, they would stamp the special pattern onto their sheet. When all of the markers had been found, the children returned to their teacher. Lastly, KS1 were introduced to Boccia. This is a game similar to bowls. However, it is played sitting down. This game is played in the paralympics at an international level. The children enjoyed the game and loved trying to get their balls as close as they could to the marker. 

On Monday, Year 6 played at a football tournament were top goal scorers in the entire tournament. Unfortunately, they were knocked out on penalties in the semi-finals. This doesn't reflect how one-sided the semi-final actually was. Lyme hit the post and bar several times but again, unfortunately, luck wasn't on their side. I would like to congratulate Year 6 on their effort during the tournament and in particularly their behaviour which was fantastic throughout. 

On Wednesday, we had a visit from Tara Jones and Katie Mottershead who both play for Saints women's team. Tara is also an England international and is in the squad again to play France tomorrow (on Skysports Arena, 18th June at 5.30pm). Tara and Katie were inspiring and a lot of the children were lucky enough to get their picture taken with the pair. 

Lastly, the whole school took part in the race for life today. Each pupil has trained all week to perform this race and they should all be so proud. Every child that completed the race received a medal for their hard work. 

Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic sport's week. We hope you enjoyed it!

We enjoyed a week of celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Year 6 focused on the 1960's decade. We looked at art from the 60's and listened to the music that was popular at the time. Most of the children are now fans of the Beatles. We researched key events that happened during this period. We ended the week with a little party.

Making windmills for Mr. Mouse

Date: 23rd May 2022 @ 4:25pm

This half term, Y1 have made windmills for their client, Mr. Mouse. They had to follow his design criteria: it must be stable, it must have windows and a door, it should be decorated in the colours he likes and have tulips on (he is from Holland!). The children know that their windmill is made of a structure and has an axle to turn the turbine (sails) - they did such a good job! After they had finished they evaluated their finished products. 

PSCO visit to Year 1

Date: 23rd May 2022 @ 4:20pm

Three of our local PSCOs visited Y1 today to talk about this half term's PSHRE learning question: 'Who helps us to keep safe?'

They talked about their role in the community and how they help to keep people safe; how to call '999' and who to ask for and how to stay safe when using technology. After that they answered any other questions that the children had. 

Finished masterpieces!

Date: 23rd May 2022 @ 8:10am

Year 4 - Maths Time Games

Date: 17th May 2022 @ 11:48am

Time Board Games!

 

Today, year 4 have been revising how to tell the time in 5 minute intervals. This is a year 3 objective but it is always worth recapping it to make sure we have a solid understanding!

We decided to do this by playing a telling the time board game! The children loved playing this game and learnt a lot from it!

Vegetable Tart

Date: 16th May 2022 @ 4:23pm

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.
