Date: 28th Mar 2022 @ 3:40pm
Year 1 have been looking after Baby Zorg for a number of weeks now after his spaceship crash landed on the school field - by the car park.
Year 1 decided that they needed to learn all about The United Kingdom and Our Local Area before they could send a message to his parents.
The remembered the following key information:-
* Planet Earth
* The United Kingdom
* England
* London is the capital city of England
* Liverpool is a city near where they live
* St Helens is the town where they live
* Earlestown is an area of St Helens
* Lyme Community Primary School is in Lyme Street
* Sam's Shop is on the corner of Lyme Street and the Country Park is next to school
Y1 have left Baby Zorg in the office as they think he is missing his parents - they know all this key information will help his parents find him.

Smoothie ingredient taste testing
Date: 10th Mar 2022 @ 4:56pm
We have had a very exciting afternoon in Y1! First we had to guess the ingredients of the shop-bought smoothies by using sight, smell and taste - we made some very good guesses! The green one made us think it had brocolli or peas in it but we were glad to find out that it was kiwi fruit and cucumber that gave it its colour! Next we listened to a song about why we should 'eat 5-a-day' - we talked about how drinking a smoothie could help us with this. After that we did a taste test of some different smoothie ingredients and decided which kind of smoothie we would like to make in our next lesson and why. Mrs. Roberts was very proud of how we all had a try of a variety of different things- even if we were unsure or hadn't tasted them before.

Last month our Student Council decided that they would like to raise money to buy some new equipment for playtimes to improve the activities they are taking part in. On Friday 11th February -to mark Children's Mental Health Week- we held an 'Own Clothes Day' -and raised £170. The student councillors spent some time looking online for resources that they thought they and their classmates would like. Mrs Lammond will organise a rota to make sure that the resources are used properly and fairly.

Year 1 have had a fabulous fun-filled day - for Word Book Day we all dressed as a Super Hero or a Super Villian.
In class, we wrote sentences about the Super Hero in our story 'Super Daisy'.
We also completed 'Super Hero Maths', made our own Super Hero Cities, made masks, designed capes for Super Heroes.
Some of us used contstruction toys to create Super Hero Cities or Super Hero Vehicles.
We shared story books with each other and the Reading Ambassadors from Y3 visited our class too.
We finsihed the day by singing some of the songs from 'A Pocketful of Songs' by Julia Donaldson.

For World Book Day we read the story 'Supertato' by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. The children were then able to play with the evil peas, rescue the evil pea from the jelly, play with mashed up Supertato, count the different characters and write and draw about their favourite part of the story.

Wow! What an amazing response we had to our story spoon competition. Here are some photos of the fabulous entries. Thank you to everyone who took part. The children enjoyed looking at all of the wonderful creations and talking about the stories that the characters were from.

Well done everyone!

Lyme Country Park - Science Learning Walk
Date: 2nd Mar 2022 @ 12:41pm
This morning, Year 1 have been on a Science Learning Walk - even though it was slightly wet and very muddy in places a great time was had by everyone.
We learnt some of the names of the plants in the country park - such as:-
* Scots Pine
* Hawthorne
* Gorse
* Pussy Willow
We also talked about some of the signs of 'Spring' - like the plants turning from brown and orange colours to light green. Also, when the natural water and puddles start to reduce this is also a sign that Spring is coming.
We listened to some of the birds tweeting and singing to each other - we even saw a robin.
Before we returned to school, we stopped by one of water features in the park and saw a cormorant - it feeds on fish and frogs.
It was a very long walk (just over 2 miles) and we climbed some big hills - including Skylark Hill (although Scott The Ranger told us he calls it Scott's Hill). We could see a long way from the top of the hill - we saw parts of Haydock and Earlestown Town Hall.
It was great fun!

As this week is World Book Day ... Year 1 participated in an online learning session with Julia Donaldson.

It was a fun activity.

Lesson 1: I can investigate foods and say whether it is a fruit or a vegetable.
This week we looked at different foods and sorted them into groups: fruit and vegetable. We found out that it is a fruit if it has seeds and that we can eat some seeds (like on strawberries) but not others (like in mangoes).
Finally, we did a taste test – using adjectives to describe the taste and textures.
Children's Mental Health Week in FS
Date: 11th Feb 2022 @ 3:38pm
