It is Mental Health Awareness Week, which is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. This year's theme is 'Action' because, raising awareness is vital, but real change comes when we take action too: for yourself, for someone else and for all of us!

All of our Delta children took part in the 52 Lives School of Kindness – Mental Health Awareness Virtual Assembly. The children were also excited to see the special guest during the assembly – Rafferty Coope! Rafferty is the musical magician from Britain's Got Talent, who received a golden buzzer and was a semi-finalist. Raffety shared his top tips for taking action to improve your mental health. It was pure magic!

Finally, the children completed various activities, where the children understood that real change comes when you take action and being kind to others and to ourselves is a key part in supporting our mental health.

This week, it is Mental Health Awareness week and the Mental Health Foundation theme this year is 'Take Action.' All the children at Delta took part in the Picture News - the Big School Workout: Live with Joe Wicks – The Body Coach . The children knew the importance of how staying active and exercising can help to show children the link between physical activity and mental wellbeing.

On Friday 1st May the whole school displayed community spirit and participated in the TCS Mini London Marathon in Schools 2026!

We started the day with a whole school warm up followed by each class taking it in turns to either walk or run 2 miles in our Active Playground.

All the children and staff smiled through the miles, they also spread kindness and supported each other alongside following our school values - Kind, Respectful, Responsible and Resilient. Our Games makers were on the sideline motivating and cheering everyone as they completed each mile.

Each class received a medal for Gold, Silver, Bronze, taking part medals and a certificate because, in our eyes, everyone was a champion!

Finally, we had a closing ceremony where the children were awarded the sustainable TCS Mini London Marathon in Schools trophy and an ice pole to cool everyone down in the scorching heat.

Last Saturday, TCS Mini London Marathon reported that 19, 645 children crossed the finish line on The Mall. We are proud that one of our Y6 Head Student completed his time in just over 6 minutes and came in 34th place! What an achievement!

Year 1/2 Mandela Class had an unforgettable day at The Paddington Bear Experience on the South Bank. The children were transported to a multi-room immersive attraction and into the world of Paddington and the Brown family. 

The children helped Paddington and the Browns to prepare for the Marmalade Day Festival. Their journey began at Paddington Station. Then the children explored the iconic home of the Brown family at 32 Windsor Gardens. Followed by travelling back in time to the Jungle of Peru, where they foraged for oranges to help make the marmalade. 

At lunchtime, the children got to enjoy the glorious weather for a picnic lunch with the view of the London Eye. 

Finally, the class didn’t let the tube strike disruptions dampen their mood and enjoyed travelling on the bus and seeing all the beautiful sights of London. 

Year 3 Angelou visited London's Roman Amphitheatre, which was discovered by archaeologists working on the site of the new Guildhall Art Gallery building in 1888.

The children participated in an interactive and educational attraction, which allowed them to dive into the ancient history of Roman London.

The children were able to step onto the well-preserved Roman ruins in which crowds would have once gathered to watch various events such as gladiatorial combats.

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.
