As many of our school community celebrate Eid, the children came to school dressed in their Eid/Party clothes alongside others from other religious backgrounds and beliefs. There was a special whole-school assembly followed by an afternoon of arts and craft activities and celebrations in each classroom.
This afternoon, we had our wonderful mummies, aunties, sisters and grandmas join in our Mother's Day Stay and Play. Everyone participated in various Mother's Day activities. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day for this Sunday.
Year 5/6 Jemison went to the British Museum in Central London. The class were consolidating their knowledge, skills and understanding about their topic on the Ancient Greeks. The class were exposed to many historic artefacts and participated in a tablet tour to further inspire their learning about the Ancient Greeks. Once again, the children were able to have a valuable learning experience outside the classroom. Many members of the public also commented on how sensible the children were when visiting the museum.
Year 2 performed their class assembly for the whole school, then to parents and families in the afternoon. The children raised awareness about Comic Relief - Red Nose Day! The children told jokes, and showcased how people and celebrities around the UK raise money by 'Doing something funny for money!' An important message about 'Kindness is our superpower' was also shared and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference!
This half-term, Year 3 have been thoroughly enjoying their PE lessons and learning how to play volleyball. They have certainly been perfecting their skills and know how to communicate with each other and work as part of a team.
Year 5/6 Jemison class took part in a Community project and visited St James Community Centre. The children recited their poetry from this half-term and read to individual members. This provided a memorable experience for the community members and our children. The class teacher reported that the children were exceptional at upholding our core values outside the school.
Today, our Year Reception/ 1 Kahlo class took part in a valuable learning experience that enhanced their knowledge, skill and understanding linked to their Science topic 'Comparing Animals.'
The furry and scaly workshop taught the children about the animal kingdom alongside the children getting up close and personal with a variety of animals.
One of our Year 3 children and parent bought their pet 'Liz the Chameleon' to school. The class's Geography topic this half-term is 'Why are rainforests important to us?' The children focused and learnt about the different rainforests and wildlife animals.
During World Book Day, we held our annual 'Book in a Box competition.' Well done to our Early Years and KS1 winners who chose the following reading books as a price. Can you guess their book? One is a traditional tale and the other book is about a character who has purple prickles all over his back!
Well done to our Key Stage 2 winner for the 'Book in a Box' competition who also chose a reading book of their choice for their prize. The title of the book is 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' by the author, Charlie Mackesy. The book is about having hope for uncertain times. 'Enter the world of Charlie's four unlikely friends, discover their story and their most important life lessons.'
Today is World Book Day! Once again, our Delta children and staff came to school dressed up as various book characters. There are more photos for you to see on our Instagram page!
Our Head of School also managed to get many free book character costumes that were kindly donated by the Rubies Costume Company in partnership with World Book Day and Parentkind.
In the afternoon, we had many of our wonderful parents, carers and families who came for our Reading Fiesta! This was another opportunity for them to see a range of reading activities that are taught in school and also for the children to read and share a book with them.
