Year 3 performed their class assembly to their parents and families. The children did exceptionally well and were trying to convince the audience that the Romans should rule our school!
In a short space of time, the children have learnt many facts about the Romans and were able to share their knowledge, skills and understanding. The children also sang a song about Roman Numerals and 'Think like a Roman.' The children also discussed the different Roman Emperors and how the Romans created mosaics and the Roman baths.
Finally, as part of our cultural capital offer, the children were able to recall an educational visit to St Albans Verulamium.
Our Year Reception Kahlo class produced artwork on the theme 'Me and My Family', which was entered in a nationwide competition in conjunction with other Reception classes from the UK. Our Reception children's artwork had been chosen and will be published and used to create a book that will be available in March.
Our budding artists were each awarded a certificate and sticker from the Young Artists organisation. We are very proud of the children and look forward to seeing their artwork in the book.
Our new Playground Oracy signage is now displayed in the playground. This allows all of our Delta children to use their oracy skills to ask others about joining in with play and games but also when the right choices are not made, how they can overcome them through the power of talk.

Today, two of our Delta MPs who are on the sustainability committee, visited the local Eco Recycling Park, alongside other MPs from our other Trust schools. The MPs were given a tour of the Eco Recycling Park and were shown how household recyclable materials are collected, sorted and distributed so that they can be recycled again.
Our Delta MPs had a great time learning outside the classroom and were very good representatives for the school. They are now looking forward to reporting back to the rest of the school MPs as well as showcasing a presentation to the rest of the school.
Year 5/6 Jemison Class have been writing non-chronological reports about the inspirational Olympian - Sir Mo Farah. The class teacher, Laura Nwanya, reached out to Sir Mo Farah and explained how the children had been researching his early life, his journey to the Olympics and all his charity work to help the class with their writing.
The class were delighted and truly excited that Sir Mo Farah sent them all a personal video message, thanking them all and encouraging them to work hard in school and that 'Anything is Possible!'
Year 4 Farah class had a visit from The Pantry to learn how food gets from farms to their plates. The children conducted an interview to find out more about their school meals. They learnt that The Pantry is an eco-friendly company and are focused on sustainability. The Pantry explained that most of the food supplied to Delta comes from UK suppliers. They also highlighted their efforts to reduce food miles and their carbon footprint, as well as the importance of supporting local farmers. The children enjoyed asking questions and learning about sustainable food sourcing.
Year 5/6 Jemison class had the opportunity to visit Aim Academy again and this sessions focus was Maths. The children worked hard on their four operations in a fun Maths workshop and then were inspired by a creative writing class for the afternoon, It was a great experience for Jemison class as they prepare to move onto their stage of education. All pupils valued the afternoon and showed great maturity on the day.

Year 3 Angelou class visited the St Albans Verulamium Museum to find out more about the Ancient Romans. The children saw a beautiful 1700-year-old mosaic floor, created sketches of the old Roman City Wall ruins and looked at ancient artifacts. The class also took part in a workshop where they dressed up as Roman citizens and went shopping for Roman foods and objects in the market square.
The children thoroughly enjoyed learning outside the classroom and reported back at school that it was an amazing experience.
