This half term our Learning Challenge question is: Why were the Romans so powerful? To help us to find out the answer, we visited Chester on Tuesday 18th September to take part in a Roman Soldier Patrol and experience the Dewa Centre.
The Roman Soldier was incredibly strict! He took us on a walk around the streets of Chester - visiting the Roman Gardens and the Ampitheatre. We used our shields to make a 'tortoise shell', which the Roman soldiers would have used to help to protect themselves in battle.
In the Dewa Centre, we were transported back in history to the Roman times. Our discoveries helped us to understand just why the Romans are referred to as being rotten.... shared baths, 'poo sponges' and disgusting food!
We have started using our learning back in class and have written fantastic recounts about our visit - some examples are coming soon!

Year 1 have been learning about why sorting things can help us to organise and understand things better. Children sorted lots of different objects in many different ways and have discussed and shared their thinking for why they have sorted their objects this way. Well done Year 1!

This week we continued to look for a new home for our lost alien Zorg. Children spent some time exploring the country Wales and some of the things it has to offer. Children spent some time looking at and exploring leeks, Welsh rugby and even tried to write and read the name of the longest place name in the whole of the UK.

Today we were amazed to find a space ship had crash landed in our outside area. Year 1 children welcomed Zorg to their classroom and have spent the week helping Zorg to learn about where on planet Earth he has landed.

Maths Board Games!
Over the last couple of days, Y5 have been working very hard creating Maths board games that show off all they have learnt this year. The board games are bright, fun and challenging! Y5 have created a range of questions that players must answer to progress in the game including fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions.
We have invited Y4 into our class today to test them out! The Y4 children have thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon, learning about new mathematical content and having fun at the same time!
Here are a few pictures of our afternoon...

For our final topic we have been learning about animals including humans and living things in their habitats. We have had some outdoor fun by creating our own digestive system and going on an invertebrate hunt. Today we found many invertebrates in our school environment. Beware some images contain spiders.

On Tuesday St. Helens Healthy Living team visited the nursery to deliver a Healthy Eating Workshop. We had lots of fun and found out about lots of ways to stay healthy.

Foundation Stage hit the beach
Date: 5th Jul 2018 @ 2:45pm
We’ve had a fab day at the beach. We’ve played football, frisbee and had some races. We then had our lunch and went for a walk. It took us a long time but we finally made it to the sea. Problem was we had to be back at the coach soon! After a dash back (and a quick ice cream stop) we came back home. We had a great day and are all very tired!

On Thursday 14th June, four members of our Rights-Respecting Group visited Hope Academy to present to local headteachers about children's rights and to talk to them about all the work they have done on being amabassadors at Lyme. They did a fantastic job! Hopefully they will have encouraged other local primary schools to think more about the rights of the child.

The Whittle Cup is a touch-rugby tournament that has been running for over 10 years now and is held at Newton Storm Cricket Club.
Today, we sent a team to compete with some of the best young players in St Helens. After winning our first game and losing our second in a closely fought contest, the team were full of optimism. We went on to win 3 more games after that and narrowly missed qualifying for the knockout stages.
The team behaved superbly and even got to meet and play with some of the Saints players. We all had a great day!
Thank you to the parents who came and supported the team as well!

The team very kindly answered all their queries and concerns about smoking.

We had Wedding Fever in Foundation Stage as we prepared for the Royal Wedding! We set up seats, wrote invites, made rings and dresses and then it began! Children loved walking down the aisle to profress in front of all the children that they were going to be "best friends forever!".
