News Cypress Primary School

We hope you are all prepared for Year Six’s bushcraft adventure next week, especially as the weather forecast is looking hopeful!

We’ve had a lovely day in the sun at Cypress and it’s been great to see everyone enjoying our wonderful school grounds. 

This week we have been focusing on another traditional tale; The Three Little Pigs.

Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who joined us for the last meeting about this month’s residential trip for Year 6.

Year 3 has had a fantastic first week back to the summer term.

Welcome back to the new Summer term!  We hope that everyone had a very happy Easter holiday and it’s been great to see our children returning looking very smart in their uniforms. 

In Little Cypress we have had a fabulous first week back for our Summer Term.

As part of their Literacy work around the text ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver, Year 6 were visited by two cave people, Twig and Ochre, who camped on the field at Whitehorse Manor Junior School for 3 nights. 

After a jam-packed Book Week, we rounded off celebrations with a fabulous assembly led by Margaret Bateson-Hill, here at Lower School.

With recent higher numbers of COVID cases across the UK the SLT of the Pegasus Academy Trust has put in place some new precautionary measures to keep us all safe as we enter the last weeks of term. 

Over the last couple of weeks, Year 6 have been studying the text ‘Varmints’ by Helen War and Marc Craste. 

Works update During lockdown our landscape gardeners were busy outside at Cypress Lower continuing the work to make our woodland more accessible and useable for outdoor education. 

Hello to all of our Pegasus families wherever you are reading this. 

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement today (Wednesday 30th December) and the publication of the accompanying guidance it is now clear that Croydon schools, including our schools within the Pegasus Academy Trust, will not reopen on 5th January as planned. 

As we come into the Christmas season many parents may be considering buying tablets or laptops for their children which will allow them to access social media sites.
