Don't forget to come into school wearing odd socks with your normal school uniform. This is to support Anti-Bullying Week!
This afternoon Year 5/6 Carver class performed a wonderful assembly, about World War I to parents. All the children were very confident speakers and were able to retain and present all the key knowledge they have learnt about the War this half term. Well done.
Today we announced our new Delta Parliament councillors and Year 6 MPS. The children were all very pleased and are looking forward to taking on their new roles and responsibilities. We will be having our very first Parliament meeting after half term.
Well done to all the children who ran for election. The whole school really enjoyed the experience of going to a polling station, having a polling card, filling a ballot paper and having the right to vote.
It is our Delta Parliament Polling Day today. All the children across the school will have a chance to vote. The children had their own individual polling card, which they took into the hall. Then the children completed a Ballot paper where they needed to vote for their class councillor and the person they would like to me our Year 6 MP. Finally, all the Ballot papers were placed in the Ballot box.
The votes will be counted and the councillors and Year 6 MPs will be announced tomorrow.
The Year 6 children read their manifestos to the rest of the school and gave many reasons why they should be voted as an MP for Delta Parliament. It took real courage and confidence to speak clearly in front of an audience. The children did exceptionally well.
Today Kate Stevens, the Headteacher delivered a Phonics meeting to our Key Stage 1 parents. The meeting informed parents about the importance of Early Reading and how the children are learning their phonics sounds to help them to segment and blend to help them read.
We had a brilliant turn out so thank you are the parents who came to the meeting.
This morning the children had a whole school assembly discussing the launch of our Delta Parliament. The assembly informed the children about how pupil voice matters. The classes will be nominating children from their classes who would like to run for the election and be a class councillor. The Year 6 children will be writing their manifestos, ready to present to the rest of the school this Friday.
Next week, the school will be holding a Polling Day, where each class will be given a Polling card, which they need to present when they go to vote. The children will then vote and mark an X on the Ballot paper for their class councillor and for a Year 6 MP.
Today it is World Mental Health Day and the children came into school wearing something yellow, to show children and young people who have mental health problems that they're not alone.
The children took part in various PSHE lessons were they were reminded about how looking after our wellbeing have never been more important. However, people still fell ashamed to open up about how they are feeling. The more people who show they care, the more comfortable young people will feel about talking to someone if they are struggling.
It is World Mental Health Day on Monday 10th October. Don't forget to wear something yellow to school.
This week, it is International Week of Happiness. The children took part in a class circle time/ assembly and discussed 'What makes you happy?" The children were able to discuss things and people that make them happy. Here are a few quotes from children across the school.
"I feel happy when I am with my parents."
"I feel happy coming into school as I feel safe."
"I feel happy when I play with my friends."
The children have been making the most of the weather and enjoying playing with all the different playground equipment at lunchtime. They have been staying active by playing our new swing ball, skipping, using the climbing frame, playing basketball and football and many more!
Some children have even enjoyed playing games on the picnic benches, such as the stacking cups, the large dominoes and noughts and crosses.
