News Cypress Primary School

We have had a Super Science Week at Cypress Lower School with exciting investigations in every year group! 

Our children had a fantastic time with their science experiments this week.

As part of our ‘Africa’ topic this term, our children attended a couple of dance workshops, led by a drummer and a dancer from Ghana.

We have launched our Science Week with two special assemblies. On Monday, Laura Ashfield from the Surrey Wildlife Trust visited us and inspired our children to become more aware of the wildlife in their surroundings. 

Another week and another exciting sporting experience. This week 6 children from Year 4 & 5 had the opportunity to practise 3X3 basketball.

It has been a warm week and an exceptionally warm day today!

Wow!  What a hot few days we’ve had in school.  We’ve all tried our best to keep cool, drink lots of water and stick to the shade. 

The children in Little Cypress have been observing how the mustard, cress and cat grass seeds that we planted a week ago have been growing.

The three reception classes had a very exciting visit from some exotic minibeasts this week.

We have had a week full of reflection, in particular considering how best to show that you care about others.

At our most recent sporting event, children were exposed to a new format of cricket – Dynamo Cricket. 

It’s been amazing to welcome back our children and families after half term. 

In Little Cypress we have been learning all about how plants grow, inspired by books such as Jack and the Beanstalk, Jasper’s Beanstalk and Titch. 

Our Year 1 classes had a great day today at the Horniman museum.

Our friends at Thornton Heath Nursery School (THNS) are starting a new ‘Stay and Play’ after the half term holiday.
