News Year 5

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.

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. 

The Y5 children worked incredibly hard this week to put on for performances – that’s right, FOUR!

As we draw nearer to the Christmas holiday, it’s beginning to feel very festive at Cypress Upper!

Well done to our amazing violinists. See below a report of the event from Lucy and Viola in Rowan class ‘We played with the London Mozart Players for their Christmas concert this year.

What a fun day we have had at Cypress today! We have absolutely loved seeing the children – and the staff – in their jazziest Christmas jumpers, as well as the festive hats and glasses everyone brought in.

This week we have been considering the skills needed to be a good collaborator.
