Superstar Writers! In Little Cypress, and especially in Nursery, we have been noticing that the children have been really interested in writing.

We have been learning all about trains this week. We have read the story “train ride” a book that is all about the view from a train window.

In literacy these last two week we used Jack and the Beanstalk as part of our learning.

Continuing with our transport topic, this week we have been reading the story book ‘The Train Ride’ by June Crebbin.

This week, we are extremely proud of our Year 6 learners who worked so hard in their end of key stage SATs and managed to stay fully focused even during Wednesday’s hail storm.

At the Lower School, we have learnt about different people who help us. 

This week in Reception, the children continued their learning about the duck life cycle, observing how the ducklings have been changing over time and learning how to care for them properly.

Over the last few weeks Year 2 have been learning how to tell the time in maths.

The children in Year 4, 5 & 6 all took part in water safety workshops with the RNLI this week.

On Monday 4th May 2026, it was International Firefighters’ Day. To celebrate this day, Reception were lucky enough to have a workshop with FOBBS (Figures of Black British Society) founder, Kayleigh Oliver.

This week Reception are immersing themselves in the traditional tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” so we have also been planting runner bean seeds as well as sunflowers, cress and sweet peas.

Today our three Year 2 classes travelled back in time and experienced what a day at the seaside might have been like during Victorian times.

This week in Nursery, we have continued reading the story ‘The big red bus.’

Last Friday and this week, our Year 2 classes enjoyed visiting the Centre for Wildlife Gardening in East Dulwich.
