Inspired by the picture book the SEA OF DREAMS by Dennis Nolan Year 2 have produced some amazing artwork this week. They used mixed media to create an under water scene using paints, pastels and collage materials. The children explored colour mixing to create their own colours to use in a colour field painting inspired by the artist Mark Rothko.
In music they composed and performed their own pieces of music using 1 and 2 syllable words from the book.
Begum taught the children a dance inspired by the pictures from the story and in drama they acted out scenes from the story.
In english the children created expanded noun phrases to decribe what they could see and wrote their own poems. It have been a wonderful week and the children have enjoyed expressing themselves through the arts!

Today, Year 2 attended a rugby festival which was led by the Saints Community Development Team. The children took part in lots of fun rugby activities.

Here are some of the things that the children said they enjoyed about the festival:
'I liked tackling and pushing people over'
'I liked it when we played a mini game of rugby and we had to score.
'I liked it when we jumped over the hurdles and we had to lie on the floor. It was funny'

This afternoon author Sean Perkins visited Lyme to share his latest book with us 'Oscar and Ben - The Birthday Party'.
Sean introduced the children to the main characters Oscar and Ben but first they had to wake them up from their sleeping bag. Once the cats Oscar and Ben were awake they sat in our classroom and listened to the story too! Oscar and Ben ventured into the forest to celebrate the birthday of their good friend Mrs Hen.
The story was exciting and entertaining and Sean even added special sound effects. At the end of the session Sean played his guitar and we sang a song about the story.
The children's faces lit up during the story telling session showing us that our children really do share a love of reading. Thank you to Sean for providing our youngest children with such a memorable learning experience.

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!
