  • Summer Stunning Start

    Published 27/04/26

    ✨ Summer Stunning Start! ✨

    On Friday we had this terms Stunning Start! Our Stunning start kicks off our topics with a bang, and helps our teachers understand what we already know to plan for our next learning steps!

    Our topics this term are:
    🚜 EYFS - Farm - What can we find on the farm?
    🌿 Lower Primary - Jungle - Is it cold in the jungle?
    🏜️ Upper Primary - The African Plains - Does it rain on the African plain?

    A selection of irresistible activities and experiences were set up across our BD3 & BD7 sites to engage and challenge all!

    We all started the day with a whole school ‘wake up, shake up’, moving our bodies to keep healthy! This set our bodies up for an exciting day! 💪

    We took a quick trip to Africa in our courtyard, and printed huge African fabric in our BD7 hall 🇿🇦

    Our sensory rooms were turned into a deep Green jungle! Pupils had to spot jungle animals through the vines! 🐒 We also had a pop up farm in our Immersive suite, showing us the difference between jungles and farms!

    2 huge cooking challenges took place also with pupils going head to head to create the best recipe! We are learning about healthy eating this term during our PSED lessons! Will the red team or green team win?🧑‍🍳

  • Galaxies at Forest School

    Published 27/04/26

    Our Galaxies Pathway has their turn at Forest School this half term! 🌳

    Our first session was a huge success. We were planting garlic to grow our own 🧄 We loved smelling the garlic first, before digging some soil, planting it, then watering it!

    It was a beautiful sunny day, and a little bit windy – but wind is fun, especially after we made our very own Wind Wands! 💨 We went on a stick hunt to find the perfect one, before choosing which ribbon we wanted!

    We can’t wait to get back out to Forest school every Thursday morning for this half-term!

  • Musica Spectacular at St Geore's Hall

    Published 26/03/26

     

    On Monday we took to the stage at St George’s Hall for the annual Musica Spectacular alongside other schools in Bradford! ⭐️

    Pupils from Co-op Academy Delius and Co-op Academy Southfield came together to form an incredible, large-scale signing choir. The group performed a moving rendition of "When I Grow Up" from the musical Matilda, a song that captures the wonder and big dreams we hold for the future. 💭

    It was a beautiful full-circle moment for our community; the choir featured a huge range of ages, from our littlest performers in EYFS to older Southfield students who actually began their journey at Delius years ago! 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

    Our dancers at Co-op Academy Delius absolutely sparkled in their ballet performance of "One Short Day" from Wicked! This year we’ve been working with the incredible Martin Howland from Project Resurgence, to show that ballet is for everybody! A huge shout-out to our two soloists who kicked things off by singing the intro through their headpiece mics and to everyone who took to the stage - you were amazing! 💚

    M&M Theatrical Productions visited our BD7 site for a performance of Treasure Island! 🏴‍☠️


    As part of ‘The Delius Experience’ programme that’s run here at Co-op Academy Delius, all of our pupils get chances to experience live theatre and a range of performances throughout their journey with us!
    Pupils LOVED following Jim Hawkins on his adventure and even joining in with parts of the production! 🧭

     

    After the production of Treasure Island, our pupils in our Astronaut Pathway had a bespoke workshop learning about how the production is put together! 👀

    From moving stage sets, exciting costumes and even sound and lighting - pupils got hands on exploring all that has to happen to make a performance! 🏴‍☠️

    Lots of our pupils have said they now want to be actors or stage managers!!

    Thanks to Happy Days Children's Charity for helping us to make this happen for our pupils!
