We have been feeling very festive at Cypress Upper this week. Our Christmas hoops went up in the hall (thank you Mr Stewart!), Year 5 wowed us with their Christmas performance (click here to read the news story) and many of us enjoyed an extra special concert and a chance to sing Christmas carols at St Johns Church – organised by the wonderful Mel Ellison of the PTFA. Today we enjoyed our Christmas dinner: turkey and all the trimmings followed by a choice of scrumptious desserts – thank you to our caterers Harrisons who worked hard to ensure the food was hot, delicious and that we were served quickly. We filled our bellies and had a jolly time!
We have year group Christmas singing events to look forward to next week also!

Maya has been awarded gymnast of the term alongside Phoebe Rose at their local gynamstics club! Your dedication is definitely paying off – well done!
