Settling in,,,,, Another fabulous week has whizzed past in Little Cypress!

We are now well and truly back in to the swing of things at school and the children have been immersing themselves in the new learning in their year groups.

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2025 is fast approaching. 

Thank you to all the parents and carers who were able to attend Year 2’s curriculum meeting.

Congratulations to our newly-elected Ecclesbourne school councillors. It was wonderful to see how many children put themselves forward for this responsibility – the successful candidates were voted in by their classmates after sharing their views on how they can support the school community.

It has been an exciting week in Gold class with all the children showing great bravery during their first few days at nursery.

This week has been a very busy first full week of learning. 

It has been lovely to welcome our new Reception and Nursery starters and their families this week as they begin their Atwood journey. 

The new children of Little EPS have begun their school journey by exploring the classroom and outside space. 

What a joy it has been to watch the children in Rainbows and Nursery settle in to the routines of life in Little Cypress!

This half term our focus author is Anthony Browne.  Anthony has won many awards for his work and is a past Children’s Laureate. 

This week year 2 had a visit from Nabhi who engaged us in a wonderful workshop about the Hindu festival Diwali. 

What a wonderful start to the new school year we have had this week at Cypress!

Welcome back!  I hope you all had a restful summer and feel refreshed and ready for the new academic year. 

We were delighted to welcome our new reception children to Ecclesbourne today.
