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:

• Children and staff dressing up in their book character costumes 
• Potato book character competition
• Whole school assembly - guess the book quiz!
• Peer reading - different classes reading and sharing a book
• Where’s Wally scavenger hunt
• Reading Fiesta where parents were invited to read
• Write a story based on ‘Ten-word Tiny Tales of Love’ by Joseph Coelho
• Listening to books which are linked to kindness
• Reception to Year 3 - ‘Kindness for Koalas’ where the children invented their own character and how they will teach the value kindness 
• Year 4 to 6 - Kindness Boomerang’ where the children created their own kindness boomerang to spread kindness with each person they met
• BBC Teach Live World Book Day lesson

It was pure joy getting lost in all things related to reading and books!

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.

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.

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.
