We had a lovely evening hiding from the weather in the Science & Media Museum on the 5th of Feb! 

Lots of our pupils joined in with the ‘Sharing Stories’ event at the museum, with arts and storytelling workshops. We all made our own notebooks, and even printed the front cover. 

We joined in with a dance workshop ‘From Congo to Bradford’ and joined in with an inspiring drumming workshop!  We also got to explore the whole museum whilst it was nice and quiet!

Have a look at the programme in the pictures to see everything else we got up to!!

It was great to join pupils from other schools in BD3 for some evening fun! 

Recently pupils in our Galaxies Pathway visited the Turner Prize exhibition at Cartwright Hall! 

Pupils spent time in 2 galleries and had bespoke workshops designed just for us in them:

A beautiful shiny room with sea sounds and bells by Zadie Xa. In this room we had a workshop around the sounds in the room and the movement of water through using material.

 A room with work by Nnena Kalu, who won the 2025 Turner Prize! Nnena’s sculptures are vibrant with different materials wrapped together. We had our go at making a sculpture inspired by her work.

Nnena is the first person with a disability to win the Turner Prize, so it was extra special seeing what we can all achieve! 

Christmas at Delius

Christmas Crafternoons

These afternoons are an opportunity for families to come into classes for fun Christmas crafts and making lasting memories! 

Families can see their child in class alongside their friends, and learn more about what they get up to in their school day! It was fab having so many parents, siblings and grandparents getting stuck in!

Christmas Shows

Our Upper Primary and BD7 performance of ‘The Fleece Force’ was brilliant! There was lots parts, with everyone working together brilliantly! From Camels riding past, shining angels, shepherds… and not to forget, sheep! 

Our Lower Primary’s performance of ‘Whoopsie-daisy Angel’ was truly magical! For lots of these pupils it was one their first times in a performance so big, and they took it all in their stride! 

Santa Visits

All pupils also got to visit Santa in his grotto and received a present. Pupils loved spending time with Santa, telling him about all kinds of things! Santa came whooshing into BD3 in a snow storm, and arrived at BD7 on his Donkeys! 

Our Rockets Pathway (EYFS) have welcomed lots of new little faces to our academy this term! 

They’ve settled in so well, and are making the most of all the opportunities here at Co-op Academy Delius! As you can see by these photos of some of our Rockets pupils, they are having an absolute blast! 

Coming to big school is a big step, but we’ve been blown away by the confidence our pupils have shown, and the amazing relationships they’re already making with lots of new people across our academy!

Here’s to the start of an exciting learning journey at Co-op Academy Delius! 

What a Stunning Start we had! 

Each term we have a different topic, and at the start of every topic we have a 'Stunning Start' day. On this day we have lots of learning opportunities set up to really kick off the topic with excitement, and for our teachers to be able to find out what our pupils already know.

Our topics this term are:
EYFS - Rhyme Time: Can you find the rhyme?
Lower Primary - Stories from around the World: Where does the story come from?
Upper Primary - Powerful Poems: Where will the poem take you?

Our Sensory Room (BD3) and Soft Play Room (BD7) were turned into a collection of Nursery Rhymes! We had everything from Humpty Dumpty to Old McDonald and Ten Green Bottles! Our pupils loved signing along to the rhymes, with some leading the singing themselves! 

One of our stories this term is The Enormous Turnip - and our pupils had a go at planting their own turnip seeds and exploring a vegetable patch. They then had to pulllllllll the Enormous Turnip out in a game of tug of war!

One of our poems this term is 'The Morning Rush', and details some of the activities we have to do to get ready on a morning. Our pupils followed this poem and getting ready in the morning rush! They washed their faced, brushed teeth, and combed their hair ready for the day ahead!

We had a blast at the 'Open Mic Night' where pupils were building their confidence performing short poems to their peers! 

At the end of this term we will have a 'Fabulous Finish' - another special day that takes place at the end of every term, where we show off just what we have learnt!
