Year 3 Angelou Class were immersed into making 'Caveman Stew' from their core text book, The Stone Age Boy. This is to help create their story maps before they start their innovation stage of writing a set of instructions.
The children also learnt how to cut and chop vegetables and, with adult support, how to boil and stir th stew until it was time to eat!
This term, we have introduced Games makers during morning and lunchtime play. Initially, the children in Year 5 and 6 had to write a short account of why they would be suitable for the role models, how they would share our school values in the playground and how they would encourage active play amongst the children in the playground. After, the children were interviewed and were then observed leading active play and games. Then the children who were successful were offered the job.
So far, our appointed Games makers work on a rota and have been leading by example. They have also been successfully encouraging any classes who are in the playground to play in active team games and activities.
We now have another Reading Zone in school where each class can also go and read for pleasure. Our Delta Staff have also recommended the books they loved to read too. The children can also take these books home alongside their book bag book and those who also bring a RWI book home too. Thank you to all the parents, families and teachers who have donated these books to the school.
Don't forget you can still join our easy fundraising to help raise money for our school Reading Pod too.
Year 5/6 Jemison and Year 2 Mandela took part in the NSPCC - Speak out Stay Safe workshop today. The workshop helped children understand:
The NSPCC workshop leaders commented that it was clear to see how the school have embedded and worked on ensuring that all the children know who are their trusted adults are and who the children should go to for help.
During Art, Year 5/6 Jemison have been learning about digital photography and used their chromebooks to create an image inspired by the Ghanian artist, Derrick O. Boateng. The children used bold colours for the background and ukuleles and books that are written by diverse authors to create their image.
Our classes know that they all have a worry box in their classroom, where they can write down anything that is on their mind - no matter how big or small. We also have calm corners where our children may need a quiet space to reflect or even focus during part of the day.
Year Reception/ 1 Kahlo class have been learning new things about each other and forming new friendships with each other. They have also drawn beautiful self-portraits of themselves.
Our Delta children celebrated the love of reading, as part of our Reading Fiesta! Our Key Stage 2 children became Reading Buddies with our Key Stage 1 and Reception children. Each class took part in a Reading Book Hunt. We also had our families come into school to listen and read with their children and also see how we teach reading at school.
A great start to the new school year! Lovely to see the children enjoying playground games and following our Delta Values outside the classroom.

Today, the rest of the school had the opportunity to say a final and fond farewell to our Year 6 children. Our Year 6 children walked with pride and released their Delta green balloons before leaving the school gates for the final time. We wish all our Year 6 all the best and hope they have a smooth transition to secondary school.
We celebrated children’s achievements in our end of year assembly with awards for excellent effort and attitude in subjects, 100% attendance, Kindness and our Pupil of the Term awards. Congratulations to all of our award winners!
