Welcome back to the start of a new term at Cypress.

It has been a busy four days in the run up to the Christmas after what has been a very long term. 

This week, the year 3 children from Brigstock, Whitehorse Manor Junior and Ecclesbourne schools went on a trip to the Crystal Palace park.

On Wednesday, this week the children downed tools and stopped writing.
