At the Lower School this week, we have been focusing on the Pegasus Value ‘We are Proud’. We talked about different ways we can show pride in our achievements and also the achievements of others. The children have been working hard to demonstrate this value this week.
At the Upper School we have been thinking about the power of being kind and focusing on the Pegasus Value ‘We Care’. We have been identifying all the different ways we can show kindness to ourselves and others.

Science Workshops in Years 1 and 2
This week Year 1 and Year 2 have taken part in Science Workshops run by one of our parents. Dr Lisa Moylan, who is a STEM outreach officer at Kingston University, put together some amazing workshops for our children. We were also able to offer an additional workshop to our most able scientists in these year groups to help further extend their learning. Thank you Dr Moylan and your team for providing such an enriching experience for our children.

Cypress Lower PTFA Egg Hunt
Thank you to our amazing PTFA volunteers Laura, Chanelle and Katya who turned the Forest School area into an Easter Wonderland this afternoon. The children had a wonderful time hunting for eggs and seeing the Easter bunny hopping around. All the children left with a sticker and lollipop as a reward for their hard work.
Fundraising at the Upper School
Last Friday, the children at Cypress raised a large amount of money for Red Nose Day through their fundraising events. At the Upper School, they raised £300 through the sale of Red Noses, £189.69 from Mufti Day and £158.95 from the cake sale. This gives a grand total of £648.64 so far. The Lower School are still busy counting their donations and will add the amount they have raised to the total next week.
We wish all our families a wonderful weekend!
