In nursery last week, the children were reading The Gingerbread Man.

In a news story last year I wrote about the ongoing work to revitalise the Cypress Woodlands that surround the Lower School site in order to bring them back into use and make them more attractive to wildlife. 

Year 3 have been inspired by the art of both Frida Kahlo’s to create our self-portraits and Vincent van Gogh’s impressionist style to create beautiful seascapes as a backdrop to our poems.

This half-term we are working hard to develop our oracy skills; we have been thinking about oracy carefully and have decided that good listening skills are a prerequisite to good speaking skills.

We’ve had a great week at Cypress Lower School.  Children in Reception have been reading ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson this week and have enjoyed re-telling the story. 

The children in Little Cypress have had another fun-packed week, despite the sometimes rather uninspiring weather!

We arrived at Nursery on Monday morning this week to find some mysterious foot prints on the carpet! 

Following the success of the Whitehorse Year 5 and 6 Indoor Athletics Team at the qualifying event in December, the team attended the finals event on Wednesday to compete against the other qualifying schools. 

Y5 have had a superb day today! The day didn’t start off as we had planned as we have had to reschedule our workshop, but that didn’t stop the children having lots of of Viking fun!

Happy New Year to all of our Cypress families!  We hope you have had a restful holiday. 

Giles Andreae is our author for this half term. He began writing when he was at primary school.

Happy New Year 2022 to all our wonderful families! It has been fantastic welcoming back the Little Cypress children this week and we have been delighted at how quickly they have settled back in to school life after the Christmas break.

It was so lovely to see all our children back in Gold Class this week after their Christmas break. 

New Risk Assessment (RA) January 2022 With the emergence of the Omicron variant we now need to make certain changes to our working practices within our schools in order to ensure all our children and staff are safe. 

Wishing all our families and all who are important to you a Happy New Year.
