This week in Reception, all of the children turned into scientists!
From making slime to building shadufs, there has been a lot going on at Atwood this week.
Year 5 had an enriching visit to the Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara in West Croydon as part of their Religious Education unit on the Sikh faith.
Our Year 1 classes had a fantastic day on Monday, learning all about toys from the past.
Our Year 1 classes were thrilled yesterday by the visit of Mrs Jenkins, who brought a whole load of old toys to explore!
Professor Bubbleworks visited Reception today and the children in Stars and Rockets class transformed into scientists, creating their very own balls of slime!
Wow! A wonderful transformation took place in Chestnut classroom on Thursday evening.
It was lovely seeing all the children back in nursery this week and hearing about all the fun they had during the Christmas break.
Happy New Year and welcome back to all our families at Cypress.
Happy New Year. It has been lovely to see all the children back in school after the break and we have launched straight back in to our learning.
Today we were visited by the MP for Croydon North and Streatham and the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Steve Reed.
Welcome Back to Spring 1, 2025! How wonderful to see the children in Rainbows and Nursery back in Little Cypress, brimming with stories from the Christmas holidays and happy to see their friends and get back in to the school routines!
On Tuesday, Year 1 had lots of fun learning about old and new toys.
The topic for this half-term in Reception is ‘Watch out—there’s a monster about!’
Our YR1 classes would like to say a HUGE Thank you to Mrs Jenkins, who embarked us yesterday on a journey back in time… The children were so excited to learn about the old toys.
