💯👏👏👏 well done to the whole team 👍👌
Olivia was told by one of the teachers at Denbigh not to go in the muggas yard one day because the boys were playing football and didn’t she want to go and play girls games! Her and her friend said we know and went to play there anyway. This really frustrated me and is just the kind of gender specific sexist nonsense we need to get rid of. I wish more encouragement could be given to girls about football at school. It’s definitely not just for boys! The England Lionesses are inspiring!

Nursery have had such an amazing year and we are proud of them all. With this super hot weather it was wonderful to finish off the year with our pool party! The children enjoyed time in the sun, water squirters, hotdogs, icelollies popcorn and some very funky dancing. Thanks to all the parents and carers for their fantastic support this year and for the kind and generous cards and gifts. We hope you have a wonderful summer holiday and look forward to your children returning to school in September! #dcpscaterpillar
Class of 2022.
Today, our Year 6 Tigers and Lions jumped over the Denbigh rainbow to start their journeys up to high school. We couldn’t have been prouder of them all today. They performed their hearts out in the most unbearable heat and did so with tons of enthusiasm and smiles on their faces. I’m sure many of you will agree that their singing and performing was absolutely fantastic! Good luck with whatever the future brings - we are certain that they will definitely be bright. 🌈 💡
Here is the link to this year’s leavers’ video. This year’s Tigers and Lions have really learned to let their voices be heard, and roar. 🦁 🐅
Good luck you lovely bunch, we will miss you all terribly! 💜💜💜💜

The nursery children had so much fun at their end of year summer pool party! We loved making the most of the sunny weather and dressing up with our summer accessories and cooling down with a giant water fight. We played some of our favourite games including duck, duck goose and had great fun playing a range of parachute games. The children decorated their own biscuits and thoroughly enjoyed their party food. We are so proud of how far your children have come during their time at nursery. They are an absolute joy to teach and brighten up our day with their fantastic personalities. We hope you all have a fantastic summer! #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpscore #dcpsEYFS

Each and everyone of them gorgeous. Have a fabulous summer and a massive thank you for my beautiful gifts xx
What better way to cool off today than to have a water fight and eat ice pops! The nursery children loved exploring the different water squirters and seeing which one squirted the water the highest or the furthest and had great fun aiming for their friends as they kept cool in the heat. We discussed different ways to stay safe in the sun including wearing a sun hat, putting on sun cream and making sure we drink plenty of water. #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpslotc #dcpscore #dcpspshe
I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to these two. They took on the role of Phunky Food Ambassador and made it their own. An absolute pair of legends! Thank you girls. 🥰💜🌈 #dcpspshe #dcpscore
Smile if you’re HAPPY! 🌈💜🥰 Swipe to see why they’re laughing…😂 #dcpscore
Oh Isabelle is THRILLED to finally have been awarded this!!! Thanks Denbigh ♥️🌈✨
School staff were asked to nominate children who have been consistently Gracious 🙏 throughout the year. The children were then entered into a draw to win a signed football from Newcastle United. The winner was this lovely lad. Thoroughly well deserved. 🥰💜🌈
My lovely great nephew

As tomorrow is due to be a scorcher, please ensure your child has on sun cream and brings a water bottle and sun hat. Please leave coats and jumpers at home - they’re not going to need them! Thank you! ☀️🌈

Well done!!
This afternoon Elephants had a great time producing their final piece in their Art unit. We recreated Henri Matisse’s Open Window, using the skills we have learnt this week including colour mixing and choosing the best paintbrush for the effect we wanted to create. We were so proud of what we created. #dcpselephant #dcpsart #dcpscore
It’s been a busy day in Elephants today. This morning we rehearsed and recorded our debates as part of our Oracy unit of work. We were debating which part of the digestive system was the most important. We put forward our arguments well, showing the facts we had learnt as part of our STEM unit. Everyone showed their bravery and determination in delivering their debates to the class. #dcpselephant #dcpsstem #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
The Afternoon Nursery held their sports day inside today ( due to weather) and had an amazing time showing off all the skills they have been learning the last few weeks! A wonderful way to end the last full week. #dcpscaterpillar #dcpspe

After a few weeks of hard work practising our performances, and then knocking it out of the park with our show this morning, we burnt off a little bit of steam this afternoon on Denbighlandia. Look how good we are at jumping and climbing! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore #dcpspe #dcpslotc
I'm going to miss these gorgeous little characters ⭐

This afternoon the Dinos continued with their art week creating landscapes using the different line drawing techniques they have learned. We are veritable experts at cross hatching, stippling and using concentric and overlapping circles to give different effects. Some of us even used two or three felt tips at the same time to achieve the desired effect we were looking for! #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
Yesterday the full time nursery had great fun toasting marshmallows and making their own popcorn on our firepit. The children were amazing at remembering their campfire rules from last time. We sat on our own seats around the campfire and waited to be invited in to toast our marshmallows. If the smoke went into our eyes we simply closed them and turned away. When our marshmallows were toasted we practised counting to 20 before eating them so they could cool down. We loved the smell of the popcorn cooking and listening to it pop in the pan. The children were amazing at keeping themselves safe. We can’t wait to cook again on our firepit! #dcpseyfs #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpslotc #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills #dcpspshe
Fantastic, risky play is so important. Well done staff for being brave enough to give children these skills and opportunities 🤗
Last week, following on from our dinosaur topic, the full time nursery created their own volcanos. We used mud rock to create our own volcanos and had lots of fun experimenting how to make our volcanos erupt using vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and food colouring. The children spent ages observing the chemical reactions and observing what happens when different quantities were added. They are definitely scientists in the making! #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpsstem #dcpscore.
Today Year 2 carried out an investigation using money. They needed to work out how much a cupcake could cost if they used 5 silver coins. They had to do some careful adding up and convert pence to pounds as well as working with a partner. It was astounding to think the price difference could range from 25p to £2.50. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore

This week is art week and the focus is line. The Dinos have been looking at some art work by Vincent Van Gogh and used a viewfinder to recreate one small piece of one of his drawings usin different grades of pencil. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
This morning Year 2 headed outside to make some hula hoop clocks using pebbles and sticks. We then showed different times. Great networking from all. #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslotc
Elephants were treated to a fantastic workshop with Dan from Kielder Observatory today. We found out about the importance of dark skies, the amazing Kielder Observatory and the solar system. We knew lots of facts, but found out so many new things too. We even went outside to make a scale model of the solar system with inflatable planets! As today marked the release of stunning images from the James Webb telescope, we were even treated to an explanation of what could be seen in those very first images. We all agreed, Space is amazing! #dcpsElephants #dcpsstem #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Year 4 Giarffes continued their Art unit this afternoon, we have been using the work of Henri Matisse as our inspiration, thinking about the colours and lines that he uses. We have been exploring with different paintbrushes, learning how they are all different sizes and starting to think about which brush is best for the pattern we are wanting to create. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsart #dcpscore
Year 4 Giraffes had a great workshop with Dan from Kielder observatory. We loved talking and learning about the different planets, having chance to create the solar system on the patio and even finding out about events we can attend at the observatory! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsstem #dcpslots #dcpscore
Year 5 Dolphins made a great start with their art unit last week. We are studying line and have been focusing on perspective. We are learning how perspective is used to make 2-D images look 3-D and more realistic. We’ve also had a go at using perspective as well as shading ourselves. What do you think of our work? ✏️ #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpsart
In Maths this week Year 4 have been developing their position and direction skills. We have been learning how to read and use coordinates to draw shapes. Today we have the extra challenge of using our coordinates knowledge create a robot. We found it tricky at first, but were resilient and in the end, were really proud of what we produced. #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
This week in English, Elephants started their new Oracy unit. We are developing a debate about the most important part of the digestive system. So far we have shown what know about Oracy, why it is important and the skills we need. Yesterday we researched facts and developed a Tony Buzan mind map to help us develop our point of view. We had to think carefully about what information would be most useful and include it in our plans. #dcpselephant #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
Elephants have been enjoying their new Art unit this week. We are looking at colour and have been studying the work Henri Matisse. So far we have given our opinion on his work, researched his life and created colour wheels, exploring primary, secondary and tertiary colours. Yesterday we turned our hand to printing. Developing a design and trying it out on different materials to explore the effects we could create. #dcpselephant #dcpsart #dcpscore
This morning the Dinos sorted different pieces of information into their relevant subheadings. They worked together brilliantly. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
This week the Dinos have been learning all about finding and presenting information in their Computing unit. They surfed the web to answer questions about mini beasts, using different hyper links and search tools. Then they presented their information in different ways including pictograms, charts and graphs. They ended the week creating branching databases by asking yes and no questions and using a database to find out information to answer questions. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Reception had a fantastic sports morning today, chaneling our teamwork skills, our resilience and our determination to succeed, just like the athletes who compete in the Commonwealth games. We had an amazing time and we’re all fab at the different activities. #dcpseyfs #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpspe #dcpscore #yourschoolgames

Year 2 had the best afternoon participating in their sports day taking on different challenges based on events which take place in the Commonwealth Games. They smashed through each activity with huge smiles and we could not be prouder of their resilience and determination. Many thanks to all the parents who came to cheer them on. #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpspe #dcpscore #yourschoolgames
Year 5 Dolphins are still enjoying their music lessons where they are learning to play the steel pan drums with Holly. This week, they had the chance to write their own music. They did this as a class first, then in their groups using notes with different beats such as crochets (one beat) and a semibreve (four beats). They made a fantastic start and we are excited to hear more of their compositions next week! #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpsmusic
Another member of Year 5 has completed 55 club! Well done for never giving up - we are so proud of you! #dcpscore #dcpswhale #dcpsmaths
Well done!! X
Way to go!!! X

Year 2 are currently engaging in a computing week. We are looking at how to use the internet to find and present information. We started the week by using appropriate websites to find out information on minibeasts. Did you know that a grasshoppers ears are in their belly? #dcpscore #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpscomputing
The Year 2 Dragons ended the pirates topic last week with a presentation on female pirates we have researched together. We learnt so much about female pirates and how tough they were. We were brave enough to present our findings to the class. #dcpscore #dcpstopic #dcpsdragon
On Monday Year 2 had a fantastic time during International Day and our focus was the Commonwealth Games. Our country was South Africa 🇿🇦 we started off the day by discussing the values sports people need to be successful in competitions. Then we created a fact file all about South Africa and Africa. After that, we learnt some African style dance moves and lastly we ended the day colouring in the South African flag and creating an African shield. We had the best day ever! #dcpsdragon #dcpspe #dcpspshe #dcpscore #yourschoolgames
Year 5 enjoyed their School Games Day today and every single child smashed it! Each group had the chance to try a range of sports at different stations which were chosen to continue our focus on the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. We think we have some future competitors in this year group 🏆 Another big thank you to the adults who braved the rain and wind to support the children! #dcpscore #dcpspe #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale #yourschoolgames
We are so proud of our Year 5 kit car team. We have been able to build and race our own kit car in Gateshead stadium and had an amazing time doing it, #dcpsyear5 #dcpsdt #dcpscore

Last week, Y5 Dolphins worked in groups to create Tudor houses. They planned their designs based on traditional Tudor houses we’ve been studying. Dolphin class showed off their networking skills when using different tools such as saws and glue guns to assembly the different components of their models. Today, we evaluated our final models and considered what went well and what we would improve next time. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpsdt
Year 4 had an absolutely fantastic Schools Games Day today. The events were based on the sports that will represented at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and it was lovely to welcome parents and carers to cheer the children on. Year 4 showed determination, resilience and teamwork throughout the afternoon. We are so proud of you all! #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpspe #dcpscore #yourschoolgames
Our International Day started with a School Games assembly based on the Commonwealth Games and the School Games values. The children then debated why each of the values are important for an athlete to have.
Following their assembly they spent their day studying the Commonwealth country, Australia. We produced posters including key facts about Australia’s; climate, position in the world, food and animals. They also created a piece aboriginal art and enjoyed an afternoon BBQ. To finish the day off we compared Australia to the UK.
What a successful day!

Yesterday, some of the Year 5 children had the opportunity to visit St James’ Park for the STEMfest Net Zero event. The children had the chance to speak to lots of different businesses, explore career options and take part in a whole range of fun activities. The children were amazing, had some amazing discussions and loved hearing about how so many companies are helping to reduce their negative impact on the planet and make a positive change. Here’s to our budding future STEM careers taking off! #dcpswhale #dcpsdolphin #dcpsstem #dcpscore #STEMFestNetZero
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed International Day today! We chose Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 as our country and the children enjoyed learning new facts about about it, as well as how this links to the Commonwealth Games 2022. We had a jam packed day which included a debate about the most important values that an athlete should have, comparing Trinidad and Tobago with the UK, and a limbo competition! This afternoon, we continued our day with making clay sculptors of items relating to our chosen country and trying some mango. Overall, a great International Day for our year group! 🌎 #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale #yourschoolsgames

The Dinos enjoyed International Day today with our focus on the Commonwealth Games, which are being held in England this summer. We started by discussing the values sports people needed to compete and be successful in these competitions, featuring g over which value was the most important. We decided they were all of equal value. Then we learned about South Africa comparing it to the UK. We created fact posters about Africa and South Africa, learned a traditional dance and made South African inspired shields. We even discovered that the man who invented the speed gun was South African so we created some speed gun freeze frames. #dcosdinosaur #dcpspe #dcpspshe #dcpscore #yourschoolgames
Elephants enjoyed International Day today with our focus on the Commonwealth Games, which are being held in England this summer.
