Deli Cross Country Run

S.A.T.`s and Parent Reporting

Much to the relief of all, the assessment tests have been completed and will soon be marked apart from the Y6 papers which are marked externally. At a staff meeting the teachers thought it would be an excellent idea to inform parents of the results immediately by arranging `Parent Reporting` evenings after half term. So parents are invited to sign up for an appointment on Tuesday 12th June for YR, Y1, Y2, Y3,Y4, and Y5 or Wednesday 13th for YR, Y1, Y3 and Y4. The appointment lists will be in the corridor soon.
Written reports will be sent home at the end of the term as usual and Miss Henchley will arrange appointments for Y6 parents later in the term.

Silver Award

School Council achieves silver award.
During the year the Council has been working very hard to complete their ten point action plan to attain the silver award for PADL (Promoting Active Democracy Loudly). This included contacting other school councils, managing a budget, collecting ideas for events such as Red Nose Day and developing committee roles. This they have done and following a recent assessment the award has been achieved. Two representatives have been invited to the Alverton Manor in Truro to receive the award next Tuesday.

Walk to School week

All schools are being asked to develop a `Travel Plan` to promote alternative ways of travelling to and from from school. We appreciate that for many parents the distance from home to school is realistically too far for you to walk. However during the week commencing Monday 21st May we are taking part in `walk to school` week. Mr and Mrs Kellow have very kindly agreed to permit parents to park in their yard so that everyone can take part. Exercise is so important for everyone please do take part if you can and don`t forget to collect a green footprint! There will be a reward for the class that collects the most!
