The Year 6's celebrated today after a long week of SATs and rightly so as they have done themselves and their teachers proud. They have tried their best and worked really hard.

TERRIBLE TUDORS

Some fantastic volunteers from Speke Hall came into visit our Year 6 children today to tell them all about the Tudor period. They brought with them exapmles of Tudor dress and items of food and medicines from these times. As well as this, they had a wealth of information around this historic period. The children clearly enjoyed the stories and gruesome facts; they were engaged and superb role models for our school. They also got to make pomanders; small scented oranges that the Tudors used to keep them safe and mask all the vile smells there would have been at the time.

LIGHT AND SHADOWS

Date: 14th Dec 2022 @ 4:41pm

The children designed their own investigations to discover how shadows changed in relation to their proximity to a light source. The children considered the equipment they would need; the independent variable (what they would change); the controlled variables (what they would keep the same); and the dependent variable (what they would measure). They had some fanatstic scientific ideas and had lots of fun putitng their investigations into practice. 

Ready Steady Green!

Date: 6th Dec 2022 @ 9:27am

The Year 6 children took part in the 'Ready Steady Green' Eco workshop yesterday; delivered by Tracey from the St Helens Chamber. They took part in lots of fun activities and learnt that we all have the power to do our bit to stop climate change. They picked up lots of knew vocabulary and ideas to develop their understanding of climate change and made a pledge of one thing they would change to help lower the methane and CO2 emissions which are having a devastating effect on our environment. They were also able to make their own key rings out of recycled tshirts. 

 

Super fun and informative!

Thank you Tracey!

Tongan Player Visit

Date: 11th Oct 2022 @ 4:37pm

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!

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!
