This half-term Year 1 children have been busy developing their mapping skills and learning about  map features such as compass points, key and symbols.

On Tuesday, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Associate Director, Musical Director and Choreographer for Matilda the Musical joined us for two workshops/auditions.

We have continued to think about meta-learning this week. In particular, we have been thinking about which learning powers are the most useful in specific tasks, for example in a revision task, we would need to capitalise, make links and use interdependence (consider whether it is better to work alone or with others).

Just as we thought Spring had finally sprung, the chill, wind and even snow returned to remind us that Mother Nature had other ideas!

Green class amazed their Parents and Carers this week, taking us on an adventure across the sea linking to their learning in Literacy.

We have really made the most of the glorious weather in Little Cypress this week, by utilising our amazing outdoor spaces as much as possible.
