Please contact the school offices for more details.
Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who joined us for the last meeting about this month’s residential trip for Year 6.
As part of their Literacy work around the text ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver, Year 6 were visited by two cave people, Twig and Ochre, who camped on the field at Whitehorse Manor Junior School for 3 nights.
Your child should already have brought home a kit list which outlines all the equipment they need for the upcoming residential woodland bushcraft trip this May.
As part of our literacy unit on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, we have been delving into the killer mind of Lady Macbeth.
On Tuesday, the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Associate Director, Musical Director and Choreographer for Matilda the Musical joined us for two workshops/auditions.
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).
As part of our ongoing project with Pamper, Indulge and Give, some children from Year 6 have been working hard over the past 4 weeks to prepare a plot at the allotments.
Our current literacy learning is based around the works of Shakespeare with a focus on the Scottish play, ‘Macbeth’.
Time to prime those brains and flex those fingers: World Maths Day is back!
Last week, as part of our Book Week celebrations, Year 6 were visited by an inspirational hip-hop artist and poet, Kimba who taught us how to use S.H.A.M.P.O.O.
So, today has been the highlight of the week- WORLD BOOK DAY!
Yesterday, Year 5 had the opportunity to meet the illustrator- Selom Sunu.
We have had a truly magnificent start to Book Week here at Cypress Upper!
Year 6 have been fully immersed in the world of urban dancing.
For the last six weeks, Year 6 have been reading ‘The Red Pyramid,’ by Rick Riordan, an exciting story which begins its adventure in the British Museum.
