In Year 3, we have been studying the book ‘Jemmy Button’ by  Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali. 

This week Ms Binks recapped our learning on critical thinking. She focused on listening to the viewpoints of others and taking time to analyse and draw conclusions on their thoughts.

We have had a really positive week at CYP Lower with everyone enjoying the frosty, sunny days.

Yesterday our YR1 children were very excited to find out more about old toys.

We started the week in KS1 learning more about Building Learning Powers, exploring how we can be resourceful learners. 

Another week has whizzed by in Little Cypress! We have particularly enjoyed learning the story of Little Red Riding Hood and re-telling it, as well as acting it out with masks and puppets.

This week we have been thinking about thinking critically. We know that critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason (one of our learning powers!).

We are so glad to be back at school after the Christmas holiday.

It has been so lovely seeing our youngest children come back to Rainbows and Nursery so confidently this week, after the Christmas break.

Merry Christmas from everyone at Cypress Lower School!  It has felt even more festive this week with the snowfall and we’ve had great fun playing outside! 

We were so excited to come to school on Monday! There was quite a thick blanket of snow on the ground – amazing fun to play in (a health and safety nightmare for Mr Stewart and Mr Cheyne!).

The parents and carers of the children in Little Cypress were out in force yesterday to come and watch Rainbows and Nursery perform their Christmas songs.

Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals. 

Parents and carers of our Year 1 and 2 classes were treated to some exceptional Christmas singing on Tuesday this week.

At Cypress Primary School, our ‘Reading Tree’ rewards celebrate children who read regularly.
