Karl Ritchie she'll be chuffed it's Peter pan!
Emma it was today! 😂
The dinos continued their mass investigations using bathroom scales. Then they compared different weights. We are getting really good now at reading different scales. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
The dinos put their knowledge of colour mixing into creating a final piece of work today based on the artwork ‘Squares with concentric circles’ by Wassilly Kandinsky. Great colour mixing and some outstanding artwork.

Today the dinos are learning about Wassily Kandinsky, the founder of abstract art. We have learned loads of facts about him. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
Awwwww lush xxxx

Colour Chaos!
Today the dinos explored how many colours it was possible to make using just the primary colours and then adding white or black to make tints and shades. They are now colour mixing experts and can make a whole range of colours.
After a bit of practice they put their new knowledge to use as they attempted to mix colours which would match those found in nature in the form of autumn leaves. It was tricky but they gave it a good go. Check out their efforts.

The dinos have learned some fantastic skills with NUFC this week. They were focusing on precise throwing, looking carefully at a target, as well as maintaining control of a ball while bouncing it. Not as easy as it sounds but we persevered.

The dinos have had a fab week using scales this week. We have made predictions, used balance scales to talk about items which are heavier or lighter and used kitchen scales to measure out specific masses of pasta. Great team work too!

Year 2 Dinos loved inviting their parents into our classroom to see how we learn. We all got quite competitive in our Kahoot quiz! #dcpsdinosaur #dcpshistory #dcpscore
The dinos had a fab time trying their hand at a spot of coding. They started giving simple instructions to move a car from one spot on the screen to another before moving on to putting a series of instructions together to create an algorithm. Plenty of debugging took place to get it right but our resilience was amazing. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
