This week in KS1 we have been Building our Learning Powers, considering how we can use resources to help us solve problems. 

This week Ms Binks recapped our learning on critical thinking. She focused on listening to the viewpoints of others and taking time to analyse and draw conclusions on their thoughts.

This week we have been thinking about thinking critically. We know that critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason (one of our learning powers!).

We are so glad to be back at school after the Christmas holiday.

We were so excited to come to school on Monday! There was quite a thick blanket of snow on the ground – amazing fun to play in (a health and safety nightmare for Mr Stewart and Mr Cheyne!).

This week we have spent time thinking about how resourceful we are in the classroom.

As you know, Seve came to see us last week. He really enjoyed the cuddles and strokes that he received while at the Upper School.

Hi, this is a message from the ECO squad at Cypress!​

We started the week with an assembly led by Miss Binks focusing on the importance of being a great friend to others and what being a good friend looks like in practice.

This week has been a busy week, but we have also been reflective.

We are back to school and feeling ready to dive into our learning! 

This week, we have been learning about brave men and women who have fought against inequality and the rights of people of colour around the world.

See our photos from this week!

Absorption has been the focus of the week. We have discussed some ‘top tips’ to help us become absorbed and have realised that absorption is not just concentrating or giving something focused attention; it also involves an enjoyment and engagement with what is being learned.

During assembly at the Lower School this week, we learnt about International Day of Peace.
