Year 5 Dolphins have been computing geniuses this afternoon! We have been working with the EV3 robots to complete a set of missions using our coding skills. We had to work as a team to fix our code by using our debugging skills when things didn’t go quite to plan. We can’t wait to complete our next set of missions later on this week. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscomputing #dcpscore #dcpsict
Year 5 took our learning outside of the classroom today. While learning about timetables we went to the local bus stop so that we could read and interpret the information shown on the timetable. When we got back to school we had to write sentences to explain what the information showed us. #dcpsyear5 #dcpswhale #dcpsdolphin #dcpsmaths #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Year 5 Dolphins have been thinking carefully about their vocabulary choices today and how these will affect the reader. We created a HUGE word bank of interesting phrases that we plan to use to describe our hero and villain in our own version of an Anglo-Saxon legend. #dcpsdolphin #dcpsenglish #dcpscore #dcpsict
Dolphins have been practising using different colours to represent different emotions this afternoon. We used watercolours to help us try and create a background, using Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’ as inspiration. We will be working on our final pieces next week. #dcpsdolphin #dcpsart #dcpscore
Dolphins have been continuing recorder sessions with Mr Brown. We have been learning how to read written notation to help us perform as part of an ensemble. #dcpsdolphin #dcpsmusic #dcpscore
Year 5 Dolphins enjoyed their session with Big Foot this morning. We talked about the importance of showing respect towards others and ways to deal with bullying. We created freeze frames of different scenarios and gave advice to the characters to help them. #dcpsdolphin #dcpspshe #dcpsbritishvalues #dcpscore #dcpslotc
More from Year 5’s visit to Jarrow Hall. We took part in a Saxon vs Viking battle, learned about the Anglo-Saxon justice system and visited the farm and village to find out about daily life in the 5th century. Ask us what we have learned today! #dcpsdolphin #dcpshistory #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed their first ‘Hoops for health’ sessions, working with Newcastle Eagles! We were able to meet some of the players, learn about the need for a balanced diet to help with our health and even got to practice some of our basketball skills! #dcpsyear5 #dcpspe #dcpscore #dcpspshe #dcpslotc #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale
