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
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
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
Another fantastic Year 5 becoming a member of 55 club! Well done 👏🏼 #dcpsyear5 #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
Lots of hard work in Year 5! We are so proud of you! #dcpscore #dcpsmaths #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale
Y5 Dolphins wowed us with their knowledge of Queen Mary I this afternoon, as well as their confidence when standing up to debate whether she deserves the nickname of ‘Bloody Mary’. They used lots of facts to back up their arguments and the debates were so good, we can’t pick a side! #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpstopic
Y5 Dolphins worked hard during STEM week this week. We have been learning about the life cycles of different types of animals. To round off the unit, we used play doh to create the different stages of a frog’s life cycle. Some excellent models were made! Can you guess which stage of the life cycle they are? 🐸 #dcpscore #dcpsdolphin #dcpsstem
