Reception Kahlo Class visited Little City Enfield, which is an award-winning mobile role play, where the children became either a postman, doctor, optician, vet, mechanic, builder and more! All the children had an amazing experience and came back to school with happy smiles.
We even had members of the public commenting on how well behaved and sensible the children were during their visit. Well done Reception, we are incredibly proud of you all.
Year 3 Angelou Class performed their assembly to their parents and families. The children acted out the Roman Invasion of Britain and how they battled against the Celts. Once the Romans returned to Italy, there was a volcanic eruption at Mount Etna! The Scientist explained how and why volcanoes erupt. Well done Year 3, who were confident in showcasing and consolidating their learning in History.
Year 5/6 Jemison Class took part in the Roya Observatory Virtual Space Workshop. This was a wonderful opportunity where the children further developed their knowledge, skills and understanding of their Science topic 'Earth and Space.'
The children discussed the planets within the Solar System and were able to speak to an Astronomer, who discussed how they find out information about the Solar System and the future missions that have been planned.
Year 4/5 Farah class took part in the 'Farm to Fork' workshop run by The Pantry Catering. The eco-friendly session focused on an important topic – how to live sustainably. The children learnt how we can be kinder to our planet, from reducing food waste, the benefits of 'wonky veg', eating seasonally and knowing how to make smart food choices so they are able to contribute towards a greener future!
Our celebration assembly took place where we announced who was the Pupil of the Term for each class and for each curriculum subject. The pupils were nominated by their class teacher and each chosen pupil was awarded a certificate and given a festive treat. The teachers also chose one pupil from their class who has continued to follow one of our values - Kindness throughout this term.
Well done to all the pupils who have been in school every day this Autumn term and have achieved 100% attendance. The pupils were awarded a 100% attendance certificate and parents were also notified via email. The pupils also enjoyed a celebratory attendance breakfast. We expect all our Delta children to be punctual and attend school every day so they do not miss out on all the exciting learning and wonderful events that take place.
We celebrated the end of term with a whole school festive Christmas Disco. The glitter ball was out! The pupils enjoyed party games and dancing to some well-known popular songs and, most importantly, enjoying each other’s company.
Everyone enjoyed Christmas lunch with their teachers and friends and wore their Christmas jumpers to school. Our lunch servers from The Pantry always do an amazing job and ensured each child enjoyed a lovely festive lunch until their stomachs were full!
Once again, our regular half-term poetry performances took place this week. Reception and KS1 performed their ‘A Christmas Recipe’ performance to the rest of the school, and KS2 performed their Christmas poems beautifully. Each half-term, it is a pleasure to see how much enjoyment and confidence that the pupils have when performing. We look forward to showcasing these to parents in the Spring and Summer term.
We are incredibly proud of our young members in Reception Kahlo and Year 1/2 Mandela class for performing ‘A Christmas Recipe’ to our parents. It really showed that even at a young age, the children had such confidence to perform, act, narrate and sing! Cook needed to follow a Christmas recipe, she added Father Christmas, some presents, some festive robins, fluttering snowflakes, sparkling stars and three kind women who gave the gifts of Responsible, Respectful and Resilient to the Cook, who mixed it all in the Christmas bowl. However, there was one missing ingredient - a Christmas tree! Thank you to all our parents/carers and extended family members who came to watch the performance.
Our hall has been transformed into a ‘Sky full of Stars!’ All our Delta children took part in the Picture News Primary Christmas Star Map and have lit up our hall by sharing a star containing a wish or act of kindness that the children have thought about and have written how they think they can make the world a better place.
Our KS1 and KS2 children had front row seats and watched the annual Christmas pantomime ‘Rapunzel and the Revengers’ at Millfield Theatre. The children always look forward to immersing themselves in watching a live theatre performance alongside getting into the festive spirit. All of our Delta children followed our school values and were exceptional at representing the school.
