CYPUPPER: Like A Rolling Stone
This Thursday saw Year 3 start their new thematic topic in the best way possible – by dressing up and experiencing prehistory first hand.
Please contact the school offices for more details.
This Thursday saw Year 3 start their new thematic topic in the best way possible – by dressing up and experiencing prehistory first hand.
As you know, the Cypress Upper school council have decided that they would like to purchase some plants for each of the classrooms, to promote well-being and encourage responsibility.
The annual museum day was a huge success with children across the trust displaying artistic and design skills in abundance.
It was lovely to see the creative efforts of the children today during Museum Day.
Year 6 have had a fabulous week, concluding their work on Ancient Egypt.
This week, year 3 have been preparing to travel back in time to Victorian Britain.
We have had a wonderfully creative week. Year 6 have been creating death masks and learning about mummification, the process of preserving bodies ready for the afterlife.
Wow! What a feast for the eyes- Museum Day has arrived.
Today in Year 3, we have been learning about how to follow a set of instructions.
This week we have continued thinking about ‘reciprocity’ and in particular, listening and speaking in pairs or a group.
This week, year 3 have been practising their oracy skills as we know that we can learn best from speaking and listening to each other.
Year 3 have been inspired by the art of both Frida Kahlo’s to create our self-portraits and Vincent van Gogh’s impressionist style to create beautiful seascapes as a backdrop to our poems.
This half-term we are working hard to develop our oracy skills; we have been thinking about oracy carefully and have decided that good listening skills are a prerequisite to good speaking skills.
Happy New Year to all of our Cypress families! We hope you have had a restful holiday.
As we draw nearer to the Christmas holiday, it’s beginning to feel very festive at Cypress Upper!
