At Denbigh, we believe in the value of home learning and that is why we have invested heavily in creating a series of virtual classrooms for your child so that we can bring our classrooms to your home.
Whether it be for weekly home learning or whether it be because your child is unable to attend school in person, Denbigh has developed a Google Classroom for your child to provide them with a learning experience similar to their own classroom here at Denbigh.
Every child at Denbigh is allocated a personal Google Learning Account that they can use to access their Google Classroom. Within our Google Classrooms we provide a broad and balanced curriculum that reflects our school provision. Learning is regularly assigned to children and teachers and teaching assistants continually provides challenge and support as our pupils engage in their remote learning.
Technical support is available to our pupils and parents to ensure our virtual classrooms are inclusive.
In additional to our Goolge Classrooms, please find below a series of links that you can use to support your child with their learning. Your child will require a username and password. If your child does not have a username and password then please contact your class teacher via Class Dojo.
*Our home learning activities will be frequently updated during the coronavirus outbreak to support children not able to attend school.

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
Year One Polar Bears had a great morning researching facts about alligators. They used a variety resources including; information texts, diagrams and factual videos. They blew me away with their fact finding skills.
Well done to all of the Polar Bears!

Giraffes fantastic new members of the 45 and 55 decimal club!! We are so proud! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
In Geography this week, Giraffes have been learning all about the continents of the world. We started the week with a Beat the Geographer quiz, and used our knowledge of the continents to match them to their shape. It was super tricky, but we are really confident now! #dcpscore #dcpsgiraffe #dcpstopic #dcpsgeography
This afternoon the Dragons have had another art lesson! We practiced our new found knowledge of line techniques and used them to create a landscape. We used cross hatching, hatching, stippling and much more! Here is some of our amazing work. We really enjoyed this lesson! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsart

The Whales have started a new Geography topic this week, learning all about the United Kingdom. The children have been using their geography skills to look at maps, find different cities and look at the features of our beautiful coastline #dcpscore #dcpswhale #dcpsgeography
Elephants are working so hard on their hot writes this morning. We have been looking adventure stories and thinking about our use of adjectives, speech and suspense to make our stories more exciting. I am looking forward to reading them! #dcpselephant #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
The Whales have been working so hard in their Social Action sessions with NUFC. We are now 3 weeks in and the children have come up with some amazing ideas for their community projects. They had to create a project idea, make a short presentation and show their groups so they could decide on a final project. The children have been amazing! #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
Year 4 are absolutely amazing! Two more 55 club certificates today. Brilliant determination and resilience, well done! #dcpselephant #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
More 55 Club superstars and our first 27 badge winner. We are smashing it 👍🏻#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Another art week in Year 2! Our focus this week is line. We looked at three different pieces of artwork by Vincent Van Gogh and explored how he created them using different line techniques. We tried our own line techniques using different pencil grades. #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsart
In literacy this morning the Dragons looked at commas in a list. Before we competed our main activity we looked at some of our lovely reading books in the classroom and identified the commas and full stops. We found so many! There was a sneaky book with no full stops! #dcpsdragon #dcpsliteracy #dcpscore
Some geography in Elephants today. We were looking at continents and trying to recognise them by their shape. We had a great lesson with beat the geographer and a lovely reminder of a continents song. We matched the continents to their correct name and then created a world map jigsaw. Brilliant work everyone. #dcpselephant #dcpsgeography #dcpscore
Elephants had a go at their editing skills today. We were editing our innovated adventure stories, perfecting our skills ready for our hot write later this week. We thought really carefully about our punctuation, spelling and improving our vocabulary to make our work even more exciting. It was tricky, but we did a great job. #dcpselephant #dcpsenglish #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
We are starting our new topic in maths this week, it is fractions! We had to see how many different ways we could share our ‘cake’ into 4 equal parts and cut them out. This was tricky and we had to concentrate! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Our first members of the 10 club! What superstars! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
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
Congratulations to our Stars of the Week and our Dojo Winner of the week. We even had a Headteacher award for determination and resilience! What a brilliant week Elephants! Well done! #dcpselephant #dcpscore

Absolute superstars in Year 4 this week! Two more 55 club certificates today. Congratulations, you are so amazing! #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Well done kids 👏
Today in art the Dragons evaluated our final piece of work and displayed the final piece like an art gallery! We looked at each other’s work and wrote on a post it note what we liked about it. #dcpsdragon #dcpsart #dcpscore
Well done to these Year 5 Maths stars! #dcpswhale #dcpsdolphin #dcpsmaths #dcpscore

In the Dragon class it has been art week this week. We started the week by using the primary colours and mixing them together to make the secondary colours which we put on a colour wheel. We also focused on adding white to colours to make them lighter and adding black to colours to make them darker. This was all leading up to our final piece today, we had to create an abstract piece of art using unconventional objects instead of a paintbrush! We practiced earlier in the week mixing the colours and using the unusual objects in preparation for our final piece today. We are so proud of our work! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsart
Today in the Dragons music lesson we practiced reading music and playing different tunes in our small groups at the same time. We had to use our concentration and listening skills. It helped if we listen to the other groups and counted the beats. Here we are in actions! #dcpsdragon #dcpscore #dcpsmusic
School dinners aren’t what they used to be! 🌈🥰💜 #dcpscore #dcpslotc #learningthroughplay
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!)
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsart #dcpscore
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.
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
Congratulations to our newest 10 club member! Year 4 are doing amazingly in their 55 club. Well done! #dcpselephant #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Over the past two weeks, Year 5 have been taking part in a Social Action Project with NUFC. We have been thinking of different ways that we can help our local community. For the rest of this half term, we will be planning our ideas and putting some of these into action. So far we have lots of fabulous ideas about how we can work together to help the community. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpspe #dcpslifeskills
Year 5 had the tricky task of finding fractions of amounts in Maths this week. To help us, we played a game and had to find the perfect match! The children were amazing and worked so well together! #dcpswhale #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpsmath
Elephants had a fab session with Commando Joe’s this afternoon. They had to build shelters to protect them from the wind, rain and cold. They also had to make sure the whole team could sleep in it. They used their imagination and team work skills and created some fantastic shelters. #dcpselephant #dcpslifeskills #dcpscore
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
Year 4 were starting their new maths unit today. We are looking at decimals. Today we were working with tenths and needed to use our fractions knowledge from the previous unit and our place value knowledge to help us with this. We did a great job matching fractions and their decimal equivalents! #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Fantastic certificate winners in Elephants this week. Well done everyone! #dcpselephant #dcpscore
Elephants have been learning all about Earth Day. We looked at our impact on the planet, thinking about what happens to our rubbish and how much energy we use. We took our learning outside to see the impact we have locally and talked about what we could do to protect our planet. We produced some fantastic posters showing what we have learned. #dcpselephant #dcpsstem #dcpsgeography #dcpslotc #dcpscore
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
Year 3 have been looking at the difference between facts and opinions and learning about the importance of using facts when writing a newspaper article.
#dcpsyear3 #dcpslizard #dcpsliteracy #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
The Dragons had their second music lesson! We have been practising how to read music and have really improved since last week. They had to read the music as they played, it was so much fun! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmusic #dcpscore
The Dragons went outside in our geography lesson and carried out some fieldwork, looking at human and physical geographical features in our school environment. We used our observational skills to decide if the feature was human or physical! #dcpsdragon #dcpsheography #dcpscore #dcpslotc
Elephants have been absolutely amazing in STEM this week. Yesterday we investigated switches and their position in a circuit. We even had a go at making our own and they worked brilliantly! In the afternoon we discussed insulators and conductors. We conducted an experiment to find out which materials conduct electricity. Great team work again. #dcpselephant #dcpsstem #dcpscore
Year 4 superstars in 55 club today. Congratulations to our new 45 club members! #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Michelle-Louise Evans 💗💗💗
Our second ukulele lesson with Mr Brown. We have learned 3 different songs now and even more chords! #dcpsdolphin #dcpsmusic #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
Whales are having a great time learning how to play the ukulele with Mr Brown. We have had 2 sessions now - learning how to play our first and second chords! It takes a lot of patience and determination but we are getting the hang of it! Hopefully we’ll drop an album before the end of the year 🎵🎼🎶 #dcpswhale #dcpsmusic #dcpscore
The Whales have been celebrating Earth Day this morning. This takes place every year on April 22nd. We did some reading about how important protecting our environment is, learning about how we can help the Earth and then we created fact sheets about the day. We also had to come up with a mission to help our wonderful planet! #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpsstem #dcpsgeography
Ahoy me hearties! Reception are LOVING our pirate theme this half term. We have made treasure maps, painted pirate ships, created our own pirates/fairies as well as acting out stories. #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore
Really good photos but not a single 1 of my son
Our fearless Reception were outstanding again today in PE. I am so impressed with their behaviour and resilience especially when using the ‘big’ apparatus. I won’t lie, my heart was in my mouth when some of our children scaled the climbing frame to the top but they were fabulous! I was quite snap happy during today’s lessons so apologies for the photo spam! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpsPE #dcpsCORE
The Whales had a great first session with Lee from NUFC to start out new project ‘Social Action’. We learned what social action means and how people help their community. We can’t wait to create a project for ourselves! #dcpswhale #dcpscore
Year 6 are enjoying their work around the book, ‘The Explorer’. This week we have been boxing up our writing and looking at examples of features throughout the text. #dcpslions #dcpscore #dcpsenglish
Today in maths the Dragons had to match up the time with the written time for Baby Bear’s day and put them in the right order. After this we took our learning outside and became human clocks! #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
Elephants have spent the day creating a computer game. We have been developing our coding skills, creating algorithms and debugging problems as we found them. We have developed some fantastic games! #dcpselephant #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
Elephants are working so hard on their STEM unit. We made a human circuit, we had to think about the components that made a circuit and we were each given roles. We tried different ways to make our circuit work including adding switches and extra bulbs!
We then used our knowledge to predict whether circuits were complete and would light a bulb, or incomplete. We then built the circuits to see if our predictions were correct. #dcpselephant #dcpsstem #dcpscore
Elephants had a great afternoon with Commando Joe’s yesterday. We had to steer our boats round the islands looking out for objects and each other! Lots of communication and teamwork was needed. We did a great job! #dcpselephant #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
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
Today the Dragons started their new topic in maths. We are looking at telling the time. We looked at making different times on clock faces and writing the time. After that we completed a match up activity, matching the clock face to the written time. #dcpsdragon #dcpsmaths #dcpscore #dcpslifeskills
In literacy today the Dragons were looking at writing instructions. We have some special specks in our classroom that need protecting just like in the book we are looking at! In the book the boy made a guardian to protect the special specks, so today we did the same! After we created our guardians, we wrote instructions on how we did it. We remembered all the key features needed for our instructions and our work was fantastic! #dcpsdragon #dcpsliteracy #dcpscore

Last week, Year 4 giraffes were lucky enough to get some visitors from Segadunum museum. They learned all about what life was like for the Romans in Segadunum fort. They even got to hold some of the artefacts and guessed what they were used for! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscore #dcpshistory
Another superstar! Well done to another Year 5 member of the 55 club! #dcpswhale #dcpsmath #dcpscore
This morning, the year 6 Tigers evaluated the impact of our WAGOLL on the reader. We thought about the effect that features such as emotive language and descriptive language have on us as the reader and identified examples from the text. We then recapped on our class novel ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell.
We are loving this class novel and can’t wait each day to read the next chapter.
