We are delighted to share that we have received our 1 year loyalty badge from Picture News.
We are proud to be part of Picture News, where we discuss weekly news topics from around the world.
The children have continued to use their Oracy skills to articulate and voice their opinions and reflect on the weekly news topics. Alongside understanding how the weekly picture news links to our British Values and Protected Characteristics.
On the last day of term, we had our celebration assembly where we announced the Pupil of the Term for each class and for each curriculum subject. Once again, the pupils were nominated by their class teacher and each chosen pupil was awarded a certificate and given an eggs-cellent treat. The teachers also chose one pupil from their class who has shown outstanding kindness throughout this term. We are incredibly proud of all our Delta children for their achievements.
Today we had our whole school poetry performance for the Spring term. All of our Delta children recited their class poem with great expression and confidence.
Our Delta children came to school wearing something red today! We are supporting the charity Comic Relief. Thank you to everyone who bought a £1.00 donation to school.
Our Year 4 and Year 5 children had a truly magical day at the Natural History Museum. They visited ‘Our story with Sir David Attenborough’, where the children immersed themselves in a 360 degree cinematic experience.
The walls and floor burst into life, where the children witnessed the birth of life on our planet and how it has evolved over billions of years.
Sir David Attenborough’s words reflect his lifetime exploring our planet and sharing its wonders of the world. His personal message of hope makes you feel lifted and empowered to look after our planet.

Our Head Students and some of our MPs visited the Eco Park alongside other MPs from our other Trust schools. The children participated in various workshops where they were able to find out how our household recyclable materials are collected, sorted and distributed so that they can be recycled again.

Delta fostered a love of reading and took part in World Book Day! Around the school, there was a great buzz and everyone was reading for pleasure. Reading has an amazing effect on how we interact with others through books.
Once again, we took part in a few activities and stories focusing on kindness from 52 Lives School of Kindness alongside other activities too:
It was pure joy getting lost in all things related to reading and books!
We are incredibly proud of the Year 6 children who represented the school in the Connect Education Trust Debating Competition. This was a wonderful opportunity for the pupils to practice their oracy skills and critical thinking with a focus on sustainability. Each motion linked to the environment, social, or economic sustainability and encouraged the pupils to consider fairness, future generations and make responsible choices.
Reception Kahlo Class have been spreading love and kindness and took part in various continuos provision activities linked to Valentine's Day. The children even made their own flower bouquet using their handprints to give to someone they love.
This week, the school community came together to support the charity ‘Place2Be’ and celebrated Children’s Mental Health Week. This year’s theme was ‘This is My Place’, which is based around belonging and how we can feel a sense of belonging and help others feel like they belong. We also had a whole school refocus on our value of Kindness, ensuring children continue to shine and show ‘Kindness is our Superpower’ by displaying kindness all around the school and helping the children recognise the spaces, both physical and emotional, where they feel safe, valued and able to be themselves.
On Tuesday 10th February, it was also Safer Internet Day and this year's theme was ‘Smart tech, safe choices’ where the children were exploring the safe and responsible use of AI. The children had an assembly which helped them understand that AI is a type of computer which has been designed to try and do some of the things a human brain can do. The children were also reminded of how to stay safe when using AI. Again, the children knew about talking to trusted adults no matter how small the issue is when online. The afternoon was spent carrying out various activities and role-play scenarios linked to this year’s theme.
