This week in the Reception, we have been reading the book, ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’.
Today in school, Yellow Class had an exciting afternoon playing with water on the field!
At Ecclesbourne today, some of our Year 6 and one of our Year 5 pupils took part in the UK Maths Trust’s Junior Mathematical Challenge.
After the break, Year 2 have been reading Rosie’s Magic Horse by Russell Hoban.
This week we have been using the story of Little Red Riding Hood in our learning.
We are happy to be back and learning at Cypress Upper!
Growing, growing…. All the children seem to have grown in Little Cypress over the Easter break and we are carrying on that theme in class by thinking about how plants grow.
Over the Easter Holidays, the team across Pegasus gave Atwood Nursery a facelift!
What a fantastic first week back after the Easter holidays! The children came back refreshed and ready to learn.
Welcome back! I hope that everyone managed to have a good a rest over the Easter break and you are all feeling energised for the summer.
This week marked an exciting start for Yellow Class as we returned from the Easter break diving into our new topic: ‘Traditional Tales’, or better known as ‘Fairy Tales’.
Little Ecclesbourne children spent last term finding out about Spring, by spending lots of time outside observing natural changes and enjoying lots of planting activities.
In Reception this week we were learning about the Christian holiday of Easter.
It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of the Spring term at Cypress although the sunny weather and spring flowers are showing us that spring has well and truly arrived.
As the Easter break approaches, Yellow Class bid farewell to their exciting topic, “People Who Help Us” and their class role play “Pizza Restaurant”.
