Delta took part in the TTRockstars London Rocks challenge! We came in 61st place out of 336 schools who took part! Well done to our Top 3 winners who took on the challenge and had the highest scores in school!
Today the hall was transformed into a Year 3 Living History Museum! The children in Year 3 have been working incredibly hard to research and recite key facts about their key significant person in history!
This was truly a one-of-a-kind experience that was thoroughly enjoyed by all the pupils, teachers and parents at Delta. You can see more up-close and wonderful photos and a video of this event on our Instagram page @delta.primaryschool
Today we had a guest speaker from TfL who carried out a free travel safety presentation to our Year 5/6 children. The purpose of the presentation was to raise pupils' confidence in travelling independently and keeping safe as many of them will soon be transitioning to secondary school.
The children were all given their own Zip Oyster card and learnt about ticketing, personal safety advice, journey planning, how to get help and respect for fellow passengers and TfL staff.
A few our Delta children were selected to participate in our first Connect Trust Debating competition hosted by Hazelbury School. The children were competing against other schools within the Trust. Delta did incredibly well and reached the semi-final round. We are very proud of how confident the children used their oracy skills!
Year 4 had an amazing experience visiting The National Portrait Gallery. The children were advancing their drawing and sketching skills by using light and dark tones to create different portraits within the gallery.
It is Science Week! All the classes have been 'Thinking like a Scientist' and working scientifically to carry out various investigations. Each class has also focused on a book and explored the theme 'Change and Adapt.'
This morning, some children in Year 4, 5 and 6 went to Carterhatch Junior School to take part in our Connect Trust Athletics tournament. Our Year 5/6 class teacher reported that all our children showed great sportsmanship and resilience and won a number of athletics relay races. Well done.
Our sustainable trophy for taking part in the TCS Mini Marathon last month has finally arrived! Once again, well done to all our wonderful Delta children who part.
All the fundraising money raised will be spent on buying new PE and even more playground equipment, our up and coming sports day and other end of summer term events for our children.
We hosted our annual Year 3 and 4 Father's Stay and Play. We had glorious weather and the playground was filled with fun and laughter. Thank you to all the dads, grandads and father figures that attended.
Sports2Inspire recently visited our school to deliver an engaging assembly focused on managing emotions in sports. The session featured Zak Guerfi, a professional footballer and founder of Sports2Inspire, who shared his personal journey growing up in Edmonton. He spoke about how he channelled his energy and emotions into achieving his dream of playing professional football, offering valuable insights into emotional resilience and self-discipline.
In addition to the assembly, Jemison Class have the privilege of participating in PE sessions led by Zak throughout this half-term. The students thoroughly enjoy these sessions, which emphasise not only physical skills but also the importance of emotional regulation and teamwork in sports.
Today is World Environment Day and the focus this year is on ending plastic pollution. Each class took part in the 52 Lives School of Kindness live assembly followed by various activities about how their actions and choices can make a difference.
Today we had our Multicultural and Worldview Day. Once again, the children had a fantastic opportunity to explore and celebrate different cultures and beliefs, whilst developing an understanding and appreciation for diversity.
All the children engaged in an educational workshop hosted by Irie Steel pan Workshops, who are a highly respectable family company from Jamaican heritage but born and bred in London. To begin with, the children watched an initial live performance to immerse themselves followed by each class having a workshop where they all had the opportunity to experience and learn how to play the steel pan, dance, learn about musical culture and its history and how the steel pans are made and played. Throughout the day, the school has been filled with sweet melodies and tunes from this unique and wonderful instrument.
Once again, we have ensured that we continue to provide an enriching educational experience for our children that was memorable and valuable for all.
