This week when some children returned to school, they had mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness about the year ahead, but once our Year 6s were in their new classrooms the overwhelming mood was positive and focused. 

It has been so good to come back to school this year to what feels like a ‘normal’ September. 

This week I wanted to illustrate how our school values are captured in our ‘Pegasus people’ statement and at the heart of this is the clear statement “We care”. 

This week we have had hundreds of  minibeast visitors from Crystal Palace aquarium: yes, you’ve guessed it – more critters including cockroaches, locusts, fruit beetle grubs and crickets.

I love the final weeks of term, every week there is something exciting happening in all our classrooms and this week was definitely like that at Cypress Lower.

The weather didn’t interrupt our plans for sports day, we were determined that the children and parents had the chance to enjoy school life even though we are still being very careful with regards to social distancing and keeping safe. 

We took our first steps towards being Zoologists, Entomologists, Herpetologists and Malacologists this week.

As part of our continued development of the schools sites at Cypress we were pleased to be able to install some new parking facilities at the Upper site this week. 

Apart from having to decide whether its a day for sun cream and sunglasses or time for our wellies, mackintoshes and umbrellas, this week has been BRILLIANT!
