At the beginning of the week the Dinos had their very own art gallery, looking at each other’s printing pieces from last week. They wrote lovely comments on post it notes for the artist to read later. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
The Dinos have loved art week this week, learning all about different line drawing techniques and using different grades of pencil. They put their knowledge into using a viewfinder to really focus in on a particular part of a pice of art work, before turning their hand to creating landscapes. Next week they’ll be finishing off their colour versions so watch out for our final pieces. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
Here are our KS1 certificate winners this week. We are so proud of them.

More 55 Club superstars and our first 27 badge winner. We are smashing it 👍🏻#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
It’s art week again for Year 2 and this week our focus is line. We have looked at three different pieces of artwork by Van Gogh and explored how he created them using different line techniques. We’ve tried out our own line techniques using different grades of pencil to see what difference they make. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
Dino of the week for having a great attitude and being a lovely friend #dcpsdinosaur
Today the Dinos are starting to look at fractions. We explored sharing “cakes” between 2 and 4 people, making sure each piece was equal. It’s trickier than you think #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Here are our Y1 and 2 superstars this week. Amazing work 😁

Well done Harry 👏👏👏💕
Our budding year 2 artists are creating their own abstract pieces of art work using different printing techniques. To make it trickier they only have the primary colours and white so they have to mix the other colours they want to use. Great fun (and Mrs Candlish is trying to overlook the mess!)

We have three more 55 club superstars. Well done boys. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore

Today the Dinos have had a go at editing a piece of text, correcting spelling mistakes and punctuation. It’s tricky stuff but we gave it a good go.

This afternoon the Dinos started their art week. We will be looking at printing techniques across the week, but for today we looked at the primary colours and how they can be mixed to make secondary colours. Then we used white and black to create tints and tones #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
Here are our Y1 and 2 certificate winners this week. We are very proud of them. #dcpspanda #dcpspolarbear #dcpsdragon #dcpsdinosaur
We have our first 10 club badge winners in Y2 Dinos. I’m very proud of them #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Today the Dinos wrote a diary entry about their mystery book, describing how Cementland has transformed from a dull and lifeless place into a world of dazzling colour. We used our 5 senses to describe what it would be like for him. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
The Dinos carried out some fieldwork this afternoon looking at human and physical geographical features in our school environment. We are quite the experts now. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsgeography #dcpscore #dcpslotc
The Dinos have been practising their music again this afternoon with such an improvement on last week. They played really well, reading music as they went. #dcpsdinosaur #music #dcpscore
The Dinos took their maths learning outside today to make human clocks. Before that we had to match the times and words for Baby Bear’s day and put it in the right order. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills #dcpslotc
This week the Dinos are telling the time. Today we looked at making different times on clock faces and then writing what they show. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
