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

This week in Nursery we have been learning about the story ‘Rainbow Fish’.

Congratulations to the selected pupils from Year 3 and 4 who took part in the Croydon Schools’ Cross Country event at Lloyd Park on Tuesday 4th October.

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. 

Today Banji Alexander visited our school.  He is an exciting new author who came into school to share his debut book, ‘Lockdown Looms: Reggie’s Birthday Party’. 

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.

Mr Veale’s Welcome It certainly has been an autumnal week, with temperatures dropping significantly. 

We have been busily selling raffle tickets and hosting a cake sale, in order to raise money for the very worthwhile charity Macmillan Cancer Support.

Many thanks to everyone who donated cakes, treats and money to our Macmillan Coffee morning today. 

A big thank you to all the parents who donated cakes this week, we raised £130 for MacMillan Cancer Support through our school Bake Sale.

This week in reception we have been reading the book ‘I’m a feel-o-saur’ by Lezlie Evans.

Year 5 have had a busy but fantastic start to the year so far!
