Our Year 5/6 parents were also invited to attend a PSHE parent meeting informing them of of our up and coming PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, Education) curriculum on the topic ‘Changing Me’ and also the statutory curriculum linked Relationships and Health Education.
Thank you to all the parents who attended. If you were unable to attend, the PowerPoint presentation will be shared with you via email.
A few weeks ago, our Delta MPs wanted to organise a Sustainability competition. Children had to make a model or sculpture of an animal that lives in the Ocean. It was a very difficult decision for our MPs to judge all the wonderful entries that were bought into school. Well done to our 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners who all received a book related to the Ocean.
It is Safer Internet Day today and this year's theme is "Protecting yourself and others from scams online." The children have all taken part in an assembly, which helped the children to understand what a scam is and how we can possibly identify them. Also, who are their trusted adults that they can confide in when they do not feel safe online.
Year 1 to 5/6 also carried out various activities during their Computing lessons, such as sorting and knowing the difference between personal and not personal information, knowing the signs of what may look like a scam and which emotions they would feel and using a password generator to help create a password that no one else would know.
Today was Express Yourself Day! The children came to school wearing hair accessories, hats, brightly coloured socks and trainers to express their personality, creativity and individuality. The children also bought £1.00 to help support the charity Place2Be.
In the afternoon, Year 1 - 6 watched the Disney film Inside Out 2, which is supported by the Place2Be charity as the film was a springboard for the children to discuss their emotions, mental health and wellbeing.
Our Year 1 children were practising their core and balance whilst using the apparatus during their gymnastic lesson. The children also learnt that being active is also good for our mental health and wellbeing.
To kickstart Children's Mental Health Week, our Delta children took part in the 52 Lives School of Kindness Mental Health Live Workshop followed by an activity based on the theme 'Know Yourself, Grow Yourself,' which is in conjunction with the Place2Be charity too!

Year 3 performed their class assembly to their parents and families. The children did exceptionally well and were trying to convince the audience that the Romans should rule our school!
In a short space of time, the children have learnt many facts about the Romans and were able to share their knowledge, skills and understanding. The children also sang a song about Roman Numerals and 'Think like a Roman.' The children also discussed the different Roman Emperors and how the Romans created mosaics and the Roman baths.
Finally, as part of our cultural capital offer, the children were able to recall an educational visit to St Albans Verulamium.
Our Year Reception Kahlo class produced artwork on the theme 'Me and My Family', which was entered in a nationwide competition in conjunction with other Reception classes from the UK. Our Reception children's artwork had been chosen and will be published and used to create a book that will be available in March.
Our budding artists were each awarded a certificate and sticker from the Young Artists organisation. We are very proud of the children and look forward to seeing their artwork in the book.
Our new Playground Oracy signage is now displayed in the playground. This allows all of our Delta children to use their oracy skills to ask others about joining in with play and games but also when the right choices are not made, how they can overcome them through the power of talk.

Today, two of our Delta MPs who are on the sustainability committee, visited the local Eco Recycling Park, alongside other MPs from our other Trust schools. The MPs were given a tour of the Eco Recycling Park and were shown how household recyclable materials are collected, sorted and distributed so that they can be recycled again.
Our Delta MPs had a great time learning outside the classroom and were very good representatives for the school. They are now looking forward to reporting back to the rest of the school MPs as well as showcasing a presentation to the rest of the school.
Year 5/6 Jemison Class have been writing non-chronological reports about the inspirational Olympian - Sir Mo Farah. The class teacher, Laura Nwanya, reached out to Sir Mo Farah and explained how the children had been researching his early life, his journey to the Olympics and all his charity work to help the class with their writing.
The class were delighted and truly excited that Sir Mo Farah sent them all a personal video message, thanking them all and encouraging them to work hard in school and that 'Anything is Possible!'
