News Cypress Primary School

This week at Cypress Lower School we have been learning about perseverance. 

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2023 is fast approaching. 

Last week, Year 3 were studying the fantastically evocative poem called ‘From a Railway Carriage’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. 

We have had a busy and very enjoyable week at Cypress Lower School. 

Absorption has been the focus of the week. We have discussed some ‘top tips’ to help us become absorbed and have realised that absorption is not just concentrating or giving something focused attention; it also involves an enjoyment and engagement with what is being learned.

This week, Year 5 have been learning about the BLP skill of absorption and understanding how being absorbed can help us to become resilient learners.

There has been a definite Autumn feel in the air this week and the children in Little Cypress have been thinking about Autumn and all the wonderful things that this ‘…season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’  brings.

A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Year 2 curriculum meetings last week at Cypress and Beulah Infants. 

Thank you to all those who could make it this morning for our Reception Curriculum Meeting.

During assembly at the Lower School this week, we learnt about International Day of Peace. 

Author and storyteller, Chitra Soundar, is hosting an interactive session this Saturday at 2pm at the Salvation Army in Thornton Heath.

We have had another busy and productive week in Little Cypress, getting to know all the wonderful children a little better.

Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our Year 1 curriculum meeting this morning. 

This week the weather may have been changeable this week, but at Cypress Upper we have not!

This week at Cypress Lower we have been Building our Learning Powers (BLP).
