Elephants took their pencils for a walk in Art today. Following on from our research on our artist, we started looking at ways of introducing pattern to our work. We created a shape, then used different mediums (charcoal, pastels and pencils) to create pattern through mark making. We have got fantastic results! #dcpselephant #dcpsart #dcpsbrave #dcpscore
Year 5 enjoyed their computing day learning how to use the EV3 Robots. They had to programme the robots to move around the classroom, make different angle turns and miss obstacles in their path. They had to use their determined and networking skills all day in order to achieve the missions set of them. Well done Year 5! #dcpsdolphin #dcpscomputing #dcpscore #dcpsictforlearning #dcpslotc
Year 5 competed in their first North Tyneside PE Games event at Churchill. They did absolutely brilliantly in all their events, showcasing many of our Denbigh Characters including determination, bravery, networking and independent skills. They were incredibly gracious throughout, being polite and well mannered to the children and adults from other schools. They really showed their Denbigh ‘Can Do’ attitude and only found out towards the end of the competition, that many of the other schools’ children were Year 6, making their efforts and achievements even more amazing! We have definitely got some budding 2028 Olympic finalists in the making! #dcpspe #dcpscore #dcpslotc #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale
Year 5 have been enjoying their art this week and have been looking at the work of the artist Sol LeWit. Today, they were trying to create his patterns, colours and half drops in a winter picture. #dcpsdolphin #dcpsart #dcpscore
Year 6 Lions have started their Art unit this week, focusing on pattern. We are building up to our final piece which is going to be a festive winter wonderland. This afternoon, we practised a range of different techniques to create the sky for our winter landscape and then applied this, making sure we used our favourite and most effective patterns. #dcpsart #dcpslion #dcpscore
Today has been the start of Art week in Giraffe class. This term we are looking at pattern and have began our week by taking our pencil for a walk and using different patterns to fill the areas of our page. We explored with different mediums to see which gave us the best result. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsart #dcpscore #dcpsexplorer
Today was the start of our Art week in Elephants. We are studying pattern and this afternoon looked at the artist M.C Escher. We researched the artist and studied some of their work. We enjoyed exploring the use of tessellation and tricks of the eye and are looking forward to trying out some of the techniques this week. #dcpselephant #dcpsart #dcpsexplorer #dcpscore
Year 4 Giraffes have been working hard in PE today developing their netball skills of marking. We had to shadow our partner in order to try and help our team keep the ball and shoot for the net. We had specific rules to follow and had to ensure we didn’t give a penalty away to the other team. Our skills are getting so much better each week we can’t wait for our next lesson. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsPE #dcpsnetworker #dcpsdetermined #dcpscore
The Dinos were fantastic geographers this afternoon exploring the world, it’s continents and oceans. The fact we were throwing a huge inflatable globe around made it even more interesting and exciting. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsgeography #dcpscore

Who knew we had a weight lifting champ in our midst? We are so incredibly proud of you. #dcpscore #dcpsexplorer 🔭🌈💜🥰
Last week the full time nursery children had great fun exploring what they could build with our loose parts resources both inside and outdoors. The children made their own cars, trains and boats out of the crates, tyres and old planks of wood before building their own rocket to blast of into space. We even flew outside on our broomsticks and built our own dens to play hide and seek in.
Inside we challenged ourselves to see if we could build a tower taller than ourselves and explored the story of the ‘Three Little Pigs’. I think we are looking at future architects, builders and mechanical engineers by their great imagination, problem solving skills and creative designs #dcpseyfs #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpsDT #dcpsLOTC #dcpsSTEM #dcpsCORE
Congratulations to our newest 27 club member in year 4! Brilliant work, well done! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpselephant #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpsdetermined 💪🏻

Year 3 have had so much fun learning how to make photo frames. They were fantastic explorers and they worked independently to find a way to make their frames stand up on it’s own #dcpscore #dcpsturtle #dcpsdt
In nursery we get ready for writing in lots of different ways, often building our gross and fine motor skills through play. We also use our class puppet Alexander to engage the children in ‘Write dance’. Write Dance is an approach and a method that provides movement opportunities so children can develop the physical skills needed to develop their handwriting skills. The movement is driven by the music and the underlying principle is enjoyment to build confidence. #dcpscaterpillar #dcpseyfs #dcpsliteracy
Another fantastic PE session for our Reception children yesterday. We used apparatus today to practise our travelling, jumping and landing. They were so brave and fearless when it came to jumping from higher pieces of equipment. Well done! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpspe

This afternoon the Dinos composed their own space soundtrack using GarageBand to add into their presentations. We love live loops #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscomputing #dcpsmusic #dcpscore
The Dinos took on an editing challenge this morning, looking through their hot write for errors and correcting them. It’s a great skill to have. We may have some future authors in our midst. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
Reception had great fun in their NUFC session, developing their agility, coordination and speed! Their energy was boundless! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpspe #dcpscore #NUFC

Look at the presentation of our Hot Writes! This week, the Year 6 Tigers have been writing up their explanation texts about the circulatory system. They have spent the last few weeks learning about the genre, drafting and editing their work, so it was lovely to see the final results.
I have been blown away with the quality of writing and attention to detail presentation of these pieces of writing. #dcpscore #DCPStiger #dcpsstem #dcpsenglish #dcpspshe
The year 6 Tigers have begun their oracy unit this week in English. We began by playing some oracy games where discussions got a little heated when the statements ‘Homework should be given each night’ and ‘From tomorrow, all sweets are banned’ were posed to them. We have started research into the Industrial Revolution and George Stephenson which will be the basis for our spoken outcome next week. #dcpscore #dcpsenglish #dcpstiger #dcpsreading #dcpshistory #dcpstopic
The year 6 tigers started building their prototype bridges this afternoon as part of their DT unit. Their brief was to create an attractive bridge which could hold the weight of George Stephenson’s new invention ‘The Rocket’. They thought carefully about how to strengthen the beam and ensured that their bridges could hold the maximum weight by carefully selecting pillar shapes. #dcpscore #dcpshistory #dcpsdt #dcpstiger
We have been working hard in Lion Class over the past week to complete our DT unit all about bridges. We have researched the different types of bridges and different types of support such as trusses and pillars. We have designed our own bridge and we are now in the process of building a prototype, following a specific design criteria. Stay tuned for the finished products! #dcpslion #dcpsdt #dcpscore
Elephants were showing off their impressive map skills in geography this week. We were measuring distances and working out how far apart places were. We had to use our knowledge of scale and measurement to answer questions about our OS map! #dcpselephant #dcpsgeography #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
We were exploring the world of VR this afternoon in Elephants taking a trip to some of the wonders of the world as part of our All around the World topic and thinking about our Greek and Romans topics in spring and summer! #dcpselephant #dcpsgeography #dcpsict4learning #dcpscore
Elephants had great fun yesterday afternoon with samba drums. We learned all about different types of drums before moving on to body percussion, then having a go with the drums! We’re looking forward to next week! #dcpselephant #dcpsmusic #dcpscore
It has been an afternoon of exploring today, Giraffes have been exploring Greece today ready for our next topic in Spring. We used the VR headsets to help us explore Ancient Greek temples and learn about the landscape of Greece. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpshistory #dcpsgeography #dcpsict4learning #dcpsexplorers #dcpscore
Giraffes have been developing their catching skills today in Netball. It might have been cold for outdoor PE but we kept moving to help us stay warm. We are busy learning about the different positions in netball and thinking about which third we can go in ready for our competition with the Elephants at the end of term! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpspe #dcpsnetworker #dcpscore
Year 4 Giraffes have been using their summering skills today to create a tweet! We had to read our poem WAGOLL and then summarise the main points using only 280 characters like you get for a tweet, it was hard work to get all the ideas to fit but we persevered and managed to do it! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsenglish #dcpsreading #dcpsdetermined #dcpsnetworkers #dcpscore
Thank for all your support last Friday as we raised money for Children In Need. The children had a lovely day and even enjoyed a visit from BBC Radio Newcastle (Listen below) #dcpscore
It has been an afternoon of investigating and map skills in Year 4 Giraffes today. Giraffes have been working hard to learn how to read the scale on an OS map to solve problems. We had to work out that 1km was 4cm and then use this to find places that were 3km and 6km apart. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsexplorer #dcpsnetworker #dcpsgeography #dcpscore
Today, some of the Whales got the fantastic opportunity to use our Virtual Reality headsets in class. We are learning about French towns in our French lessons so what better way to learn about these than to explore them virtually! We explored Paris from an aerial view, took a tour outside the Louvre and saw the famous Notre Dame. The children loved it and shared what they could see in French! #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpsmfl #dcpsict
Today in DT, Year 3 Lizards were exploring how to strengthen a structure using paper. We found out that folding, rolling, layering and twisting the paper made it stronger. We were very determined and kept trying even when we found it a bit tricky! We made tents, houses and even some tables that could hold things! #dcpslizard #dcpscore #dcpsdt
The Dinos made a fantastic start with their computing unit, creating a Clips presentation all about space. Our first step was to find and save some images we wanted to use. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Dino of the week for resilience, determination and a cheery disposition. #dcpsdinosaur

Today the afternoon nursery children had an amazing time at the Rising Sun as part of their forest school experience. Remembering the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ from last week they went in search of bears and found lots of them. Once they were found they saved them from high places, had a tea party and even took them on brooms as we flew like witches #dcpscaterpillar #dcpseyfs #dcpslocr #dcpsliteracy
Today the morning nursery children had an amazing time at the Rising Sun as part of their forest school experience. Remembering the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ from last week they went in search of bears and found lots of them. Once they were found they saved them from high places, carried them around and even made them tea. #dcpscaterpillar #dcpseyfs #dcpslocr #dcpsliteracy

As part of Anti Bullying week, Reception loved the theme of ‘One kind word’. To spread the happiness, we shared smiles, hugs and positive messages to one another. We have some very thoughtful children here at Denbigh 🥰 #antibullyingweek #onekindword #dcpspshe #dcpsbritishvalues #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly

Last week the full time nursery read the story ‘The gingerbread man’. We conducted our own experiments to see what would happen if the gingerbread man got wet. We made our own predictions before carrying out our tests and noticed he ‘melted’ in water. We then thought of other ways he could cross the river safely including jumping accross on stepping stones and building a variety of boats and bridges using what we had in the classroom. Outdoors we built our own bridges using large crates, planks of wood and old tyres and demonstrated our balancing skills as we walked across our bridge. Later that week we looked at positional language as we traveled over, under and through a range of apparatus in the gym. #dcpseyfs #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpsSTEM, #dcpsDT #dcpsmaths #dcpsCORE #dcpsPE #dcpsLOTC
On Friday, Reception loved learning about Children in Need and Pudsey Bear. We designed new bandanas for Pudsey, coloured in, made Pudsey ears and even had a Strictly Denbigh Dance (including party games!) #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore #dcpspshe
Another fabulous trip to the Woods for our Reception children on Wednesday 🌲 #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpslotc
In our PE lesson on Wednesday, Reception focused on travelling over apparatus and jumping/landing safely. They were fantastic at taking turns and demonstrating their skills. #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpspe
The Panda Class have been working on their Oracy skills in English this week. Oracy focuses on children’s speaking skills and aims to build up confidence for public speaking. Our Oracy project was to create an advert to sell our cars that we built in DT. The children worked in trios to discuss, plan and record their adverts. Here is an amazing example of what we achieved. #dpcspanda #dcpsenglish #dcpsoracy #dcpsdt #dcpscore #dcpsdetermined #dcpsnetworkers
This week Nursery have explored the text ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ The children love retelling the story, using our binoculars to find bears and used our senses to explore the long wavy grass, thick oozy mud etc… We also practised our careful counting and remembered all we have learnt about size. Another busy week in Caterpillar class! #dcpscaterpillar #dcpseyfs #dcpsreading #dcpscore
This week the full time nursery children were set the challenge to plan a party for Olly the Octopus (our class puppet). The children did some amazing writing as we wrote a list of everything we needed to do in order to throw him the best party ever! We made Olly birthday cards and baked him some delicious cakes. I was amazed at our careful counting as we pointed to each candle as we counted the candles on our playdough cakes as we tried to guess what age he was and all enjoyed Olly’s birthday party today. #dcpseyfs #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpsmaths #dcpsenglish #dcpscore

The Dragons have been learning all about space and today got to take a trip there via our Virtual Reality Headsets! We stood on the moon and looked down to Earth, just like Neil Armstrong would’ve done in 1969. #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpshistory
It was anti-bullying week this week and the focus was ‘one kind word’. The Dragons discussed what bullying is and what to do if they ever came across it. After we wrote a kind word on a sticker and gave it to someone else in the class. We made each other smile - look at our faces! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
I can see u Grace 🤣🤣

This afternoon the Dinos took a trip to the moon via our Virtual Reality Headsets. We saw what Earth would look like if we were in space, imagined we were Neil Armstrong walking on the moon’s surface and explored a lunar module. We were in total awe seeing the different planets so close we could almost touch them.
We wrapped up our learning all about space with a quiz to test how much knowledge we had remembered.
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpshistory
As part of anti-bullying week, Year 6 Lions spent some time thinking about how we can spread kindness to others. We created our own kindness pledges and wrote letters to each other explaining all of the things we like and admire. Lots of smiles and thoughtful comments were shared 💜 #dcpslion #dcpslifeskills #dcpscore
💜🌈 We are gracious. The children were fantastic today as we supported the tremendous work of #childreninneed Thanks to all our families for their support.

So this is pretty exciting… a few weeks ago one of our amazing children mentioned to the @howdelicious_catering staff at the @howdonhub that they should try making tomato and chorizo soup. Guess what? They did! What’s more… it was sold out by 12.15pm! They think you’re amazing Molly and so do we. 💜🥰🌈 #dcpscore

Anti-bullying week focussed on the theme “one kind word”. This afternoon the Dinos discussed diffferent aspects of bullying and what to do if they ever came across it. Then we made each other smile with one kind word. We wrote a word on a sticker and then gave it to someone else. We felt great reading the kind words that were used. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills

As part of Anti-bullying week, the Polar Bears came up with one kind word they could say to others to put a smile on their face.
Hopefully it brightens up your day!
