Delce Academy Grinds into Gear with Rubicorn Skateboarding Workshop!

This week, Delce Academy was visited by a company called Rubicorn Skateboarding, who delivered a workshop to every class in the school across two days. The children were taught how to safely use a skateboard while wearing a helmet, arm and knee pads. Some children also learned a few tricks like flipping the skateboard with their feet and landing on top of it. All of the children really enjoyed this workshop.

Anti- Racist Bullying Highlights!

This week, the Anti-racist Bullying Ambassadors held a meeting which centred around raising the profile of saying no to racism. The children shared ideas on how they could help prevent any racist incidents happening at the school and how we as a school can make everyone feel included.

Dyson Class Assembly

Dyson class proudly presented their learning from the previous term to their parents this week during Dyson Class Assembly. They even taught parents some Roman Numerals and Geographical language. The parents enjoyed looking through the books on display to celebrate the learning from a range of subjects.

PCSO Rowan: Using language for effect to be ‘cool’.

Year 4 had a special visitor this week when PCSO Rowan dropped by to chat about the power of language. The discussion focused on how we use words, exploring the difference between playful banter and hurtful language. 

PCSO Rowan shared real-life examples and helped the children understand the potential consequences of their words, both online and offline. It was a thought-provoking session that encouraged empathy and responsible communication.

Remember, everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and our words have the power to build up or break down.

Comic Competition

Ahead of the book fair that is taking place from 7th March and the 12th March, the children have an exciting competition to win a £5 book token for the fair. 

All they need to do is create a comic strip inspired by their favourite book and hand it in to their class teacher by Thursday 29th February. The winners will be announced on Friday 1st March. 

Good Luck!
