Children and families alike had a fantastic time at this week’s sports days. 

Yesterday and today have been our Upper School Sports Days. We have had tremendous fun!

Today was the day when our ‘decennial’ (it means every 10 years – I Googled it!)

If your child likes fire engines, Croydon Fire Station is hosting its annual Open Day on Saturday 2nd July 2022 from 11am until 4pm. 

This morning our Reception children joined KS1 in the hall for Rainbow assembly for the first time, in preparation for their transition to Year 1 in September. 

Continuing on with our ocean theme this term, last week we read the story book ‘Barry the Fish with Fingers.’ 

All of last week, EPS pupils carried out lots of amazing scientific experiments. 

In Asteroids class, the children have been looking at the diet of people in the Bronze Age.

This week has been very exciting for reception as we released the butterflies we have been taking care of.

Well done to Red class who led a fantastic assembly this morning, sharing their learning about minibeasts. 

Excitement was in the air on Monday, as a sea of red, blue, green and yellow took to the school field.

I will be honest and say that the building of the Anglo Saxon houses in 4P was not popular with our cleaning staff (lots of mud and straw) but the learning when Mrs Pinkney set up a ‘river’ in one of the flower beds and asked pupils to set up their homestead was next level stuff. 

On Monday 20th June, courtesy of Ms Madukah, we were lucky enough to have Arthur Torrington CBE leading our assembly commemorating Windrush Day – 22nd June.

Last week we were treated to a concert showcasing the budding musicians we have at Cypress. 

During our science week, the children have had a fantastic time working as scientists, developing their scientific vocabulary and carrying out exciting experiments.
