Year 4 have been busy while some of the year group have been taking part in the skipping festival. We have researching different sports events, presenting our information and we even had time to have a game of cricket! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpselephant #dcpspe #dcpscore
Year 4 have had a great morning exploring angles around the school. We had to look at different parts of the school and identify if they were acute, obtuse or right angles. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpselephant #dcpsmaths #dcpslotc #dcpscore
We were very lucky to have Julie in Year 3 for our Wolrd of Work Career Top Trumps session this morning! We loved playing top trumps to see all of the different careers and then making our own card for our dream job! #dcpscore #dcpspshe #dcpslizard

The Dinos ventured into the world of work this morning with Julie who came back to talk to the children about different careers they may have and why work is so important in terms of a salary and promotion. We really enjoyed playing her version of snakes and ladders where we had to think about the different skills each career required and how we would need to use maths, literacy and ICT in each job. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpslifeskills #dcpscore
Is that mrs scott anyone
Donna Bell not sure but defo looks like her
Last week the full time nursery found some giant eggs in our garden. We discussed what we thought was inside the eggs. The children had great imaginations as some thought it was a giant chocolate egg from the Easter Bunny whilst others thought it could be a golden egg from Jack and the beanstalk, baby chicks, a dragon or a dinosaur. The children created their own posters to help find the owner of the two giant eggs and placed them around Nursery. The next day when we came to school we noticed that the eggs were missing and found a range of footprints and fossils in our nursery classroom. We investigated what happened to the eggs and managed to free some baby dinosaurs trapped in ice by investigating different ways in which we could make ice melt faster #dcpscaterpillar #dcpsEYFS #dcps30hours #dcpscore #dcpslotc #dcpsstem #dcpsenglish
Look at how fantastic our iPad band are! This is our entry for the #ntltipadband competition. It is amazing and we are so proud of our KS2 superstars who took part! #dcpscore #dcpsmusic
Well done kiera 🫶🏼
Dolphin class had a visit from Julie at World of Work today. We played ’Career Blockbusters’ which helped us to understand more about different jobs that the children can consider in the future, and the skills needed to succeed in them 👨🏻🚒 #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin
Dolphin class did so well when looking after their flour babies last week. We think they look like proud parents in these photos! #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpsstem #dcpslifeskills
Another member of the 55 club in Year 5! 👏🏼 Well done! #dcpswhale #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Well done 👏🏻 xx
Year 1 loved their session from The World of Work! We talked about a CV and how it can help us to get a job when we grow up. The children made a CV for their favourite superhero and then a CV for themselves. We had to think about what we were good at and what job we should go for. #dcpspanda #dcpspshe
More times table superstars for Y2. I am so proud of their achievement #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Year 6 had a fantastic day in Edinburgh on Wednesday. We went on a Harry Potter trail to learn about the different places that inspired the story, stopped off for lunch at TGI Friday’s and then spent the afternoon in the Edinburgh dungeons finding out about Scottish history and hearing some terrifying tales. Everyone had an amazing day! #dcpslion #dcpstiger #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Year 3 have been learning about healthy eating. We designed, made and tasted our own healthy sandwiches #dcpscore #dcpsturtle #dcpsstem #dcpsdt
Year 3 loved learning how to create their own video games using Kodu. We learnt how to program a robot using an alogorithm and how to fix any problems #dcpscore #dcpscomputing #dcpsturtle
Nursery have been very busy this week exploring shapes, Jack and the beanstalk and lots and lots of gardening! They were amazed to see the seed pop out from the bean as well as the root and stem growing! The children have started to grow their own beanstalks and we will update you with their progress!
Year 5 have made a great start as parents (and babysitters!) to their flour babies. So far, they have taken them everywhere and even changed and fed them. Keep up the good work, we are proud of your independence! #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale #dcpsstem #dcpslifeskills
Elephants had an amazing day at Segedunum today. This was the finale of our Frontiers Voices project. We got to see our completed art work, it looks fantastic! We are so proud of what we have a achieved and learned as part of our local heritage. We also got to make Roman helmets which we wore in the afternoon for the museum takeover. We loved sharing our work and learning experience with our parents. If you can pop along a see it! #dcpselephant #dcpshistory #dcpsgeography #dcpsart #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Year 4 have had a great day at Segedunum, we created our own Roman helmets and had chance to look at our art work in the exhibition. In the afternoon we invited our parents to come and see our work and we loved being able to share our learning. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpshistory #dcpsart #dcpscore
Year 3 Lizards spent the afternoon making healthy sandwiches! They were so independent that there is NO reason a grown up has to make them a sandwich ever again! They proved that they can do it all by themselves. They were so tasty that the children just had to eat them! #dcpscore #dcpsdt #dcpslizard
Well done lizards 🦎 cant wait for Alice-eva to make my tea now haha 😆 xx
Year 3 Lizards have had a fabulous morning with NUFC this morning! We are now masters at over arm and under arm throwing! #dcpscore #dcpspe #dcpslizard

Alice-eva really enjoyed doing this x
Morgan did too! He said it was the best day ever! x
Year 2 had even more Learning Outside of the Classrom in the sun today! We were given a measurement and had to use the water in the buckets to fill the jugs with the correct amount. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpslotc
Year 2 had a very exciting experience using the VR headsets again in topic. Our new topic is Pirates so we got to go underwater and see a shipwreck, walk around the deck of a ship and see a ship at sea. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpscomputing #dcpshistory
Another Learning Outside of the Classroom for Year 2. This week we have been looking at how our local area can be spoilt by littering. We went onto the yard to find litter, some might’ve been planted there... of course we picked it all up at the end and washed our hands after! #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsgeography #dcpslotc
In literacy Year 2 we went outside to find something interesting. We had to use adjectives to describe our something interesting. We specifically looked at what does it look it, smell like, feel like and sound like. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsenglish #dcpslotc
Year 2 were on a mission to find out the temperature of hot and cold water and then to find the hottest place in the school out of the classroom, hall or yard. Which do you think was the hottest? #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
This week in nursery we have continued to learn about growth and combined it with the traditional tale Jack and the beanstalk. We have spent lots of time this week painting pictures of plants, looking after our nursery garden and thinking about beanstalks! We have also used the story to explore maths concepts around shape. For our story detectives session this week’s mystery was… where is Jack? After looking at clues and finding Jack we advised him to stop taking other people’s things and to apologise to the Giant! Another mystery solved. . #dcpscaterpillar #dcpsliteracy #dcpsmaths #dcpseyfs #dcpstem
This week Year 2 have taken part in lots of Learning Outside of the Classroom activities. We used adjectives to describe particular objects we found on the yard, explored the capacity of different containers and looked at how the local environment can be spoilt by littering. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpsenglish #dcpsgeography #dcpslotc #dcpscore
A well earned dinner break. Y6 have had a magical morning exploring the inspirations for JK Rowling’s Harry Potter as we toured the streets of Edinburgh #dcpscore #dcpsenglish #dcpstiger #dcpslion
Thank you to the staff, Joe has had a great day.

Year 5 Dolphins are continuing to wow us with their musical talent. In their steel pan drum lesson this week, they continued to practice the songs they’ve been learning with Holly. We also used clapping to help develop our understanding of pitch and rhythm, and why they are so important when reading and playing music #dcpscore #dcpsmusic #dcpsdolphin
Year 5 worked hard this week in maths. We looked at recognising and plotting coordinates on a grid in the first quadrant. Plotting our own coordinates at the start of the week helped the children’s understanding. We were impressed with their determination, especially when they were challenged so that they could develop their knowledge further #dcpscore #dcpsmaths #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale
Year One Polar Bears have had a gorgeous day at Northumberland Zoo! They absolutely loved seeing all the different animals and enjoyed two shows. It was great to hear them discussing each of the animals using terminology we’ve learnt during our Go Wild topic.
They were perfect polar bears and did us all proud. Well done Polar Bears!

The Whales were amazing today learning all about first aid, emergency procedures and what to do in an emergency. The children practised the Primary Survey using DR ABC to help them and practised putting each other in the recovery position before learning all about cuts, burns, bleeding and sun safety. Well done Whales #dcpscore #dcpswhale #dcpslifeskills
Year 1 Panda Class had the best day at Northumberland Zoo. We were able to see so many different animals, including two snow leopards! The children’s behaviour was outstanding and it was so lovely to hear them using their knowledge from our topic lessons when they were exploring the zoo. We were also lucky enough to experience two shows involving birds and reptiles. Well done for a great day, Panda Class. I am so proud of you all. #dcpspanda #dcpscore #dcpsscience #dcpstopic
Had a fabulous day and all the children were fantastic and did Denbigh proud!!
What a lovely day out for all the children.
How can you tell it’s Friday? Certificate madness! We’ve had a smashing week with your kids. They’re just amazing! 🥰💜🌈 #dcpscore
Well done everyone xx
Well done everyone (super proud Alex) xx
Well done everyone x
Here are some photos of our last couple of trips to the woods. We are mini-beast obsessed at the moment and are loving hunting for different bugs. Our little space in the woods has grown so much recently the sun struggles to break through all the leaves so some of the shadows we have seen have been amazing! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore #dcpsstem #dcpslotc

After exploring our own growth ( looking at pictures of us as babies ) the nursery children have started to explore growth all around us. We have looked at creatures and plants in our yard including a very busy ladybird. We have started to plant flowers and carrots in our nursery planters and are going to remember to water them each day, especially in this hot weather! #dcpscaterpillar #dcpsEYFS #dcpsstem
Things are growing well in Gardening Club. We had to make sure everything was well watered in this warm weather. We even had a little visitor, a fledging bird. We were really sensible in staying quiet and giving it space, but we are looking forward watching it grow. #dcpsstem #dcpspshe #dcpscore
Elephants started their new computing unit this week. As a class we have to complete a set of challenges to find codes. Today’s challenge involved binary code. We found out that binary code is made up of 0s and 1s, and that we need the correct metadata for the computers to read this code properly. We worked as a team to work out this lesson’s code using binary, before creating our own greeting. #dcpselephant #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Elephants had a fabulous day with Rachel from Phunky Foods. We used our knowledge of food groups from our DT unit to develop our own balanced couscous dish. We carefully selected and weighed our ingredients before using our cutting and grating skills to create a delicious dish. #dcpselephant #dcpsdt #dcpspshe #dcpscore
Well done Elephants! I can’t wait to eat my cous cous tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼
Welldone my little sister Kiannah Guthrie 💗🫶🏻xxx
Today has been a day of exploration and investigating binary code for Year 4 Giraffes. We have learnt how all pictures are made up of pixels and each pixel has a code to say the colour it needs to be. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Year 4 Giraffes have had a great day completing their DT unit with Rachel from Phunky foods. We had chance to lean and design our own couscous dish using a range of vegetables and sauces to add extra flavour. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsdt #dcpspshe #dcpscore
Year 3 have been learning striking and fielding techniques with NUFC today. We had great fun playing ‘tidy bedroom’. Ask us the best technique to hit a target #dcpsturtle #dcpspe #dcpscore
Year 2 were tasked to find out which cup held the hottest and coldest water this morning and to give an accurate temperature reading. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Year 3 have been exploring how to cross the road safely during pedestrian training. Ask us what the four rules are #dcpscore #dcpsturtle #dcpslizard #dcpslifeskills
Some of our children participated in a Stadium Tour on Tuesday as part of our partnership with the NUFC Foundation. Children that had shone within their PE lessons for ability or attitude were rewarded with an inspirational trip #dcpspe #dcpscore #yourschoolgames
Amazing..looked fab x
Another fantastic Year 5 becoming a member of 55 club! Well done 👏🏼 #dcpsyear5 #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
Elephants had a brilliant day at Newcastle Cathedral today. We enjoyed exploring the different areas of the Cathedral using our compass points to navigate our way round. We found out about the importance of the building, it’s history and why it was built in it’s current location. In our workshop we created silhouettes of the city of Newcastle using images to see how the city has changed overtime. #dcpselephant #dcpsre #dcpshistory #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Beautiful solos …true colours
Fantastic 🙂 sounded amazing xx
Amazing xx

The school choir were amazing last night as they had their first big performance at the Whitley bay playhouse and we couldn’t be prouder of them! We may be small in number but we are mighty. The children sang so well together and showed off their talent with confidence as many of the children performed solos. They also enjoyed a delicious pizza after rehearsals to get them ready for their performance. What a way to finish off the after school choir club. More information about next years choir will be provided in September for those who wish to join us next year! #dcpsmusic
It was fantastic to watch them, a very proud moment. Well done to all they were so brave and sounded amazing and well done to all the teachers 👏

Year 4 Giraffes continued with their workshop this afternoon, we used what we had learnt about how Newcastle had changed over time and created our own city silhouettes. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsre #dcpshistory #dcpscore
Year 4 have had a great time at Newcastle Cathederal so far, we have been exploring the cathedral, learning about the importance of different parts of the building and we even had chance to learn about the bishop and his role. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsre #dcpscore
Last week the full time nursery explored the topic space as they listened to the story Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. The children imagined what it would be like to go into space and built their own rocket ships using our junk modelling resources and Lego. The children had great fun exploring our space tuff tray and PJ Mask figures and used these to make up their own space adventures. We thought about who might live in space and made our own alien puppets and created our own rocket pictures using different shapes #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpscore #dcpsmaths #dcpsenglish #dcpsdt #dcpsart
Year 2 Dragons ended their STEM week last week by investigating different seeds and understanding that different seeds grow into different plants. We drew what we thought a seed looked like then used a magnifying glass to take a close look at sunflower seeds, pepper seeds and tomato seeds. #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsstem
The Dragons have just started their new topic, pirates! We have started our learning by designing our own pirate ship flag for Blackbeard. #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpshistory
Kicking off the week with these superstars! This lovely lot got the Ms Guthrie’s special award for being Top Gear superstars during the kit car building day. They demonstrated ALL of the Denbigh characteristics throughout the day. We are so proud of you! 🥰💜🌈 #dcpscore
Year 1 love using Kahoot Quizzes to show off their learning! We used it in maths this week to check our understanding of position and direction. #dcpspanda #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpscomputing
Year 1 were able to try some homemade honey on toast on Friday. It was brought into school by our very own Panda, Jayden. Jayden looks after bees to help save our One Earth. A big thank you, Jayden! Keep up the good work. #dcpspanda #dcpsgeography #dcpscore
KS1&KS2 had an amazing assembly this week by rock steady. We met Sam the musician who demonstrated the instruments used in a rock band. The children certainly had a fantastic time ‘rocking out’ and more than a few have definitely been inspired to learn an instrument! #dcpsmusic
