Today, we had our final assembly for the academic year. All the teachers had chosen children who received the following certificates - English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Art awards. These awards were given to children who had shown passion, dedication and more importantly progress within the individual subject.

We also celebrated our Pupil of the term award. Again, teachers had chosen children from their class who have followed our Delta Values - Respect, Resilience, Responsibility and Kindness along with always making the right choices this term. 

Today, Delta had their Sports Day. The weather was sunny and lovely and the children really enjoyed taking part in all the sporting activities especially the competitive hurdles and sprinting races.

Thank you to all the parents who also attended and supported their children.

On the Thursday 22nd June 2023 is the 75th anniversary of the Empire Windrush arriving in Britain. Its arrival marks one of the most significant changes to diversity in British society.

The children had an assembly, and were informed about how that after World War II,
Britain was badly damaged. It had also lost many people who haddied at war.Britain needed to be rebuilt. It also needed workers.

Britain had an Empire - a group of countries that it controlled. People in the Empire were considered British. Many islands in the Caribbean were a part of the British Empire.

Britain invited people from the Caribbean to help rebuild the country. In 1948, 492 Caribbean migrants travelled to Britain on the Empire Windrush.

Some of the passengers were excited and some were nervous. They said Britain was the ‘mother country’ that would welcome and look after them. Many passengers were
soldiers who had fought for Britain in World War II.

Year 2 showed us their amazing history knowledge in their class assembly all about Henry VIII. Thank you to all our families who attended.

It was wonderful to see our Year 6 children leading playtime with Year 1 and teaching them some of their favourite games such as 'Duck, Duck, Goose,' 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' and even the competitive game 'Four Squares.'

This week is Book Week at Delta. Events include a visit from an author, a book fair and peer reading sessions. We are also exploring poetry and children are learning a poem to perform at the end of the week. Thank you to parents/carers for dropping in to read with children today!
