It has been such an eventful week at Cypress! Monday and Tuesday saw the hottest temperatures ever recorded in the UK, and the sweatiest school days we’ve ever witnessed! We are so proud of our childen for persevering through the heat. Children stayed hydrated throughout the day and class water jugs and waterbottles were frequently replenished with ice and fresh filtered water. We used the coolest parts of the school during the day and stayed inside when the sun was at its highest. Well done to all of our children for showing resilience in difficult circumstances.

Congratulations to: Ela, Freya, Jago, Eira, Zhane, Joe, Mathilde A., Jack, Lucy B, Antonia, Lucy, Neo, Polly, Ruby, Mathilde, Alana, Evie, Nicky,Ava, Ameli, Thiago and Lena! We also had our Reading Tree Rewards Assembly, celebrating children who have read every day consistently during the summer term. All children won a bookmark and were entered into a raffle prize.

Sebastian, Oliver, Sienna, Tamila, Nicole and Anna!
Well done to the children below who entered an in-house competition over the weekend with Crystal Palace Diving Club! What amazing results; we are very proud of you!
It has also been an emotional week at Cypress! Yesterday was the Year 6 disco. Children partied the evening away with their friends and teachers, enjoying pizza and ice-cream and taking hillarious selfies in our ‘selfie booth’ to celebrate their last year of Cypress. The children, who had dressed up for the occassion, looked so grown up – almost like secondary school children…
This morning was our Year 6 Leavers’ Assembly. Children shared their fondest memories and poetry and were awarded their leaving certificates and leavers hoodies. They shared their leavers songs and also shared some tears. Thank you to our Year 6 team for guiding our children through a tough year – special thanks to: Mrs O’Connor, Mr Opara, Ms Prideaux, Ms Brewer and Mrs Brathwaite. We are very proud of all that our children have achieved this year. As they leave us to embark on the next stage of their educational journey, we remind them to focus upon the positive changes that come with getting older and maturing, and all the new experiences and opportunities awaiting them.
