Well done to all the pupils who have been in school every day this Spring term and have achieved 100% attendance. The children were awarded a 100% attendance certificate and a 100% attendance pencil. Followed by a celebratory attendance breakfast.
We expect all our Delta children to be punctual and attend school every day so they do not miss out on all the exciting learning and wonderful events that take place.
Our celebration assembly took place this morning where we announced who was the Pupil of the Term for each class and for each curriculum subject. Once again, the pupils were nominated by their class teacher and each chosen pupil was awarded a certificate and given an eggs-cellent treat. The teachers also chose one pupil from their class who has continued to follow one of our values - Kindness throughout this term. This term, children were also awarded a certificate for achieving an attendance above 96% alongside those who achieved 100% attendance. Well done to all our Delta children for their achievements.
Another successful school calendar event, is our poetry performance to parents. We had glorious weather and our Delta children did an amazing job at bellowing out their class poems with confidence and pure joy. Thank you to all our Delta families who came to watch the performance and your generous donations, which we go towards funding some of our end-of-year events.
