Dear Parents and Carers

It was lovely welcoming back our children after the holiday break and to witness the joy and energy they brought with them. I hope you all had a wonderful time together during the break. The children had the opportunity to share their holiday adventures with us, and it was great to hear about the special moments and experiences they had during their time off. 

I'm excited to share that we have started 2024 with a fresh approach to how we teach Reading at Delce. The children have fully embraced this daily, 45 minute lesson, and it's brilliant to see and hear their genuine excitement created in every classroom about reading! Year 6 are reading 'Skellig' by David Almond, Year 5 are reading 'The London Eye Mystery' by Siobhan Dowd and Year 4 are reading 'The Explorer' by Katherine Rundell, while Year 3 and Year 2 continue their Little Wandle approach to teaching phonics and fluency. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and it's a testament to the positive impact our efforts are having on their learning journey. Also, every child in the school has had their reading age assessed to allow us to closely match every child's reading book to their correct level to ensure engagement and challenge; at Delce we are fostering a love of reading to ensure all children can access their learning successfully. 

Please visit X to share their enthusiasm and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Your involvement is invaluable to us as we work together to foster a love for reading and learning.

As we are fast approaching the climax of Year 6, you will notice that there is movement and changes with regards to our in-class provision. This will include additional learning time and movement of children between classes for specific lessons. These strategies are being provided to ensure that all Year 6 children achieve their true potential and are ready for Year 7.

This term, we are placing a special emphasis on kindness. During our assembly on Monday, we engaged in a thoughtful discussion on how to "Colour our school with kindness." It is our collective goal to create an environment where every child feels supported, safe, valued, and encouraged to spread kindness throughout our school community.

Thank you for your ongoing support, and I look forward to a fantastic term ahead for your children and our school community.
