How and Why some people serve God?
Date: 21st Oct 2022 @ 3:26pm
Year 3 had a special visitor today - Rev Chris Stafford came to visit us so the children could consolidate their understanding of our learning question : How and Why some people serve God?
First of all, Rev Chris explained all about the clothes he wears:-
* His cassock is black - which represents Christians believing that Jesus died on Good Friday.
* His robes are white - which represents Easter.
* His stoles (like a scarf) are all different colours to represent different parts of the Christian calendar.
* His green stole is worn most of the time.
* The purple stole represents Advent and Lent.
* The pictures on the white stole represent The Easter Story.
* The red stole is worn the least.
He showed the children the special objects that are used in Communion.
He told us that Christians believe that through the cross you travel to God.
Then, we learnt about belonging in God's family and we had a mock baptism.
Finally, Rev Chris answered lots of the children's questions.

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!

Year 3 have made Stone Age stew today using the ingredients that would have been gathered at that time: berries, honey and nuts. They wrote some fantastic instructions afterwards - thinking about the features of an instruction text they have learned about in English lessons.

Year 3 are doing well at learning French! Here they are singing 'The Greetings Song'!
Investigating the properties of rocks
Date: 29th Sep 2022 @ 5:29pm
Year 3 enjoyed testing different rocks to find out what their properties were before deciding which would be the most suitable to do a given job.
Date: 29th Sep 2022 @ 5:26pm
Year 3 enjoyed investigating artefacts to find out more about the Stone Age. They were really good at using their prior knolwedge to help them to infer what the object might be and how it might have been used.
Democracy in Y3: Pupil Voice groups
Date: 10th Sep 2022 @ 9:35am
This week, Y3 have been talking about what democracy means ready for the election of our pupil voice groups. We worked in teams to decide what qualities would be needed to be on the following councils: Student. Eco, Reading, Rights-Respecting, Sports and Online Safety. Each member of the class made a short video (some examples are below) to share with the class - then we voted! Well done to all the children for developing their confidence to speak in front of the camera and congratulations to our newly elected councillors - more on this next week!

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!

Year 3 have had a great week during sports week. We have had a go at playing ultimate frisbee and orienteering as well as running or walking a daily mile every day.

At our Starbooks cafe this afternoon Year 3 listened to the award winning story 'The Tin Forest' by Helen Ward.
The children enjoyed hot drinks and biscuits as they discussed their favourite books.
Then they used a wide variety of materials to make TIN TOUCANS from the story.

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.
Our Eco Action team have been busy again!
Date: 28th Apr 2022 @ 12:19pm
Representatives from our Eco Action team met after school this week to continue with the litter pick they started before the holidays - this included the entrance to Lyme Park too. They will be meeting again next week to weed the planters and to set up a mini greenhouse to grow tomatoes in.
Have a look at the photos of our beautiful planters - the fruit trees we planted last year are doing well and are covered in blossom!

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.
The names of the winners will be on our newsletter.
Well done everyone!

Year 5 Football Tournament
Today, year 5 and two pupils from year 4 participated in a football tournament. The children were respectful, showed good sportsmanship, manners and displayed plenty of footballing talent. After only losing one match in the group stages, we progressed to the semi-finals. We won the semi-final match after a fantastic goal from Nathan. Unfortunately, the final didn't go the same way and the children finished in second place! However, the children should be so proud of themselves after a fantastic effort all afternoon.
Coming second out of sixteen other schools is something to be extremely proud of!

As part of our DT lessons, year 3 had to design and make a castle. The children brought in some packaging which they recycled and used for the features of their castle. They also made nets to create cylinders and different types of pyramids. We had some very talented children and some amazing castles. Their castles included draw bridges and turrets in their design.

This week we had a special assembly to celebrate reading. Each class has decorated their door to showcase their class novel and author for this half term. We have now set up a Reading Council and two ambassadors have been chosen as representatives for each class. On Thursday we had our first meeting and came up with lots of exciting reading events that we would like to do over the coming months.
Evie and Rosie in Key Stage 1 were excited to take home our TRENDING BOOK today - 'The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom' by Tom Fletcher.
We can't wait to get dressed up for World Book Day that we will be celebrating on Friday 4th March.

Year 3 were very lucky to go on a school trip on Tuesday. We went to the Deva museum to learn all about the Romans as part of our history topic. Everyone was very excited to be the first class on a trip since lockdown.
We started the day with a tour around the museum by a Centurion. He told us all about the history of the Romans, how they would fight, what they ate, and how they had a bath. We all agreed that the Romans were disgusting.
After lunch, we went on a march around Chester with a Roman solider. We had to carry a shield and chant like a Roman solider. During the walk we visited a real colosseum and learned how the Romans would protect themselves in battle.
We had a great day and there were some very tired children on the way home. Here are some photos from the day.

As part of our KABS sessions, we were rewarded with time on a giant inflatable. The children earned this as a reward for making good choices throughout the term. Everyone had lots of fun.

The Eco Action Team have been very busy over the past few weeks. Along with Mr Brooks, they have built some planters using old pallets and filled them wirth compost and bulbs ready for the Spring. The crocus bulbs were given to school by the Rotary Club as part of their campaign to eradicate polio across the world.
The original planters were very overgrown and were in need to of a tidy up - they have weeded them ready for the Spring.
They have also carried out a litter pick on the field - especially after all the windy weather we have had recently.

As part of anti-bullying week last week, year 3 discussed the types of bullying that could happen. We then talked about how we could help someone who was being bullied. The key theme to anti-bullying week was 'One Kind Word' and based on this theme, we created some posters which we will display in class.
Date: 13th Nov 2021 @ 5:59pm
Year 3 completed their Stone Age topic with prehistoric art. They used natural ingredients such as berries and spices to create Earth colours. Next, they created a cave wall and used charcoal and paints to produce their own cave painting. Finally, they painted their hands in a style similar to the Stone age period. It was very messy but a lot of fun.
