Celebrating all the amazing children recognised today for putting in their best effort!

To start the new academic year, we have re launched TTRS at Delce Academy. We listened to our students who are 'Rock heroes', finding out how they improved their timestables scores and why timestables are so important. We are all very excited about our TTRS Rock Day on Friday 16th October, let's rock! 

Parents play a vital role in helping children build that all-important math confidence at home. Spending just 3 to 5 minutes a day on Times Tables Rock Stars can make a massive difference in your child's speed and accuracy. 

You don't need to be a maths whiz to get involved, simply asking them about their current avatar, celebrating their personal bests, or even challenging them to a quick rock battle in the 'Rock Slam' mode is a fantastic way to show support. By encouraging regular practice, you are helping them unlock key skills that support their learning across the entire curriculum. Let’s work together to make this year our most successful and musical one yet!

In Year 3, we have been focusing on addition numbers across both the ones and tens columns, taking time to carefully align their digits and understand the value of each place holder. They have shown great perseverance when exchanging across columns, applying their knowledge to solve increasingly complex calculations with growing confidence.

In Year 4, we have been focusing on writing and publishing our narratives, based on our core text,Azzi In Between. We included Fronted Adverbials, Expanded Noun Phrases, Show not Tell for emotion and statutory spellings.  It was fantastic to read what the children had written!

Year 5 have been having an amazing time in their tech music lessons! They've been diving into iPad music software, mixing beats and layering sounds like total pros and they are bursting with pride over the fantastic tracks they’ve created.

This week many chldren from year 6 have been enjoying their residential trip. The children who remained in school have been having lots of fun too! We have completed engineering learning and built our own bridges which we tested with a variety of weights. Sadly, not all the bridges were a success but we continued to develop our learning to improve them. We have also become scientists and built our own replicas of the human skeleton. Then we even became explorers and used our orienteering skills to solve a trasure hunt around the school grounds.

This week in PE, children worked on their good sportsmanship skills while playing bench ball. Children congratulated eachother for trying their best and for completing tricky plays. Children also chanted the name of pupils to show their support. Communication was also a key focus. Everyone had to communicate with each other to ensure that each child knew when a ball was being thrown to them. 

Thank you to our amazing pastoral team, who have worked so hard with the school community to collect donations this year. Ahead of the coming colder weather, our focus has been on gathering coats to support local families. Your dedication and generosity make a huge difference in keeping our community warm!
