It has been a very busy week at Cypress Upper. We began the week with our Reading Tree reward assembly and all the children who had completed all their reading mileage for this term received a bookmark with a QR code to a special story read by Ms Binks.
This week we have been learning all about what happens at Easter time.
Thank you to all the families who donated Easter Eggs for the raffle.
What a wonderful last week of term we have had in Little Cypress!

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).
Reception have been looking at the topic ‘People who help us’ and have been discussing what they want to do as a job when they grow up!
