News Cypress Primary School

Thank you to those who were able to attend the Cypress PTFA AGM on 6th October. 

This week, Cypress was delighted to welcome back, rapper, poet and story teller – Alim Kamara.

This week at Cypress Lower School we marked World Mental Health Day, learning about ways we could support our emotional health and wellbeing. 

The children in Little Cypress have had a fun-packed and very busy week!

This half term, year 3 have undertaken a cross-curricular exploration of dinosaurs. 

One of the advantages to being part of a Multi Academy Trust is that all staff are part of a much bigger team than they would be in a single ‘standalone’ school. 

This week at Cypress Lower School we have been learning about perseverance. 

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2023 is fast approaching. 

Last week, Year 3 were studying the fantastically evocative poem called ‘From a Railway Carriage’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. 

We have had a busy and very enjoyable week at Cypress Lower School. 

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.

This week, Year 5 have been learning about the BLP skill of absorption and understanding how being absorbed can help us to become resilient learners.

There has been a definite Autumn feel in the air this week and the children in Little Cypress have been thinking about Autumn and all the wonderful things that this ‘…season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’  brings.

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Year 2 curriculum meetings last week at Cypress and Beulah Infants.
