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.

Well done 👏🏻
Giraffes ended 2020 with an amazing craft morning, making Christmas cards and calendars for their family and friends. You have all been amazing this term, have a great Christmas and a happy new year! #dcpscore #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsart
Final certificates of 2020 in the Whales! Well done to these amazing Stars of the Week and two fantastic Dojo winners! Merry Christmas everyone! #dcpswhale #dcpscore
It must be Christmas....All of the Elephants are star of the week. We are so proud of the way they have come back to school ready to learn. Well done Elephants! Merry Christmas! #dcpselephant #dcpscore
We are enjoying our Christmas movie, popcorn afternoon! Feeling very festive #dcpselephant #dcpscore
Year 6 winners from our Christmas Raffle. Well done all. What a fantastic term! Miss Stephenson and Mrs Hammill #DCPStiger #dcpslion #dcpscore

Year 6 Tigers have worked extremely hard this week to complete their DT week and make their Christmas baubles. Measuring, carefully cutting, adding decoration and learning new sewing skills has resulted in some fantastic Christmas baubles. Miss Stephenson #DCPStiger #dcpscore #dcpsdt #dcpsart
We were lucky enough to be given some wonderful gifts as prizes for the children from NUFC. Here are the lucky winners and their goodies! #dcpselephant #dcpscore

We’ve carried on with our lovely morning of Christmas craft. We’re enjoying creating pictures, code breaking and solving puzzles. #dcpselephant #dcpsart #dcpscore
Yesterday to end DT week the Dragons designed and created their own diamond kites. They had to design their own and follow that design. They have worked so hard all week and created AMAZING kites that they are super proud of. Well done Dragons! #dcpsdragon #dcpsdt #dcpsart #dcpscore
🎶“Let’s go fly a kite, up to the highest height. Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring....”🎶
Well maybe not soaring, but definitely fluttering (the downside of making kites in a week where there is no wind - how did the typical rubbish British weather let us down?)
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdt #dcpscore
This week the dinos have become expert kite makers. Yesterday we designed and made diamond kites. We measured the frame carefully before cutting. Thanks to our sensible attitude no fingers were harmed while sawing wood. The finished products are amazing.
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdt #dcpscore
Elephants have had a lovely morning so far Christmas crafting. We even got the glitter out! #dcpselephant #dcpsart #dcpscore
The dinos tried out their diamond kites today. Great fun!
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdt #dcpscore
The Whales finished their DT projects all about creating their own Viking Longboats. They used saws to create their deck frame out of wood, used techniques to strengthen their structures and then decorated the sides of the boat. They had to construct a mast and sail to add to it too! They were fantastic. Well done! #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpsdt

Year 6 Lions learnt how to code a Micro:bit today to make it either write a Christmas message, play a song or light up, which then went inside their musical entertainment Christmas box. They worked really hard today and mastered this coding (which was originally designed for year 7!) They had to create an ebook with their work, which included writing, photographs and videoing both themselves modelling how to code and their final product. I think you agree, a lot of skills in one day! #dcpslion #dcpscomputing #dcpsdt #dcpscore #dcpsmaths #dcpsart #dcpsmusic
In DT week this week the Dragons have been making kites. Today we made carp kites and with the rubbish weather we had to be creative when we tested them. Video to follow. #dcpsdragon #dcpsdt #dcpsart #dcpscore
We have had a busy few days in Year 5 designing and making our Viking longboats as part of our DT project. We used the saws to create a wooden base and used a range of strengthening techniques to ensure our longboats were sturdy. We then decorated them in a style similar to the Vikings. They look amazing! #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpsdt
Congratulations to our newest members of the 45 Club! #dcpswhale #dcpsdolphin #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Today in Elephants we finished our lightboxes. We think they look amazing and are so proud of how hard we worked to make them. #dcpselephant #dcpsdt #dcpscore
Year 6 Lions are having a fantastic day so far. They have been designing their musical entertainment Christmas box, using lots of measuring, design, technology, team working and communication skills. We have snowmen, reindeers, Christmas trees and presents. They are currently learning how to code their Micro:bit ready to add in their coding to the decoration. Watch out for their final designs later on. #dcpslion #dcpscomputing #dcpsdt #dcpscore #dcpsmaths #dcpsart
Our carp kites look amazing and thanks to a little bit of thinking outside of the box we got to test them despite the foul weather.
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdt #dcpscore
Today the dinos are creating some carp kites. The weather isn’t looking too favourable for kite flying but we hope it’ll clear up later 🤞🏻
#dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdt #dcpscore
Day 2 of DT in Elephants today. We moved on the the design and making of our light boxes. We have created the space for our translucent design and painted the boxes. Tomorrow we will start putting it all together. We can’t wait to see how they turn out. #dcpselephant #dcpsdt #dcpscore
This week the dinos are learning about kites as part of their DT. So far we have looked at the history of kites and why they all look different. Today we experimented with different materials, thinking about which material would be best to make a kite from. We tested strength, flexibility and waterproofness. Ask us about our results. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsdt #dcpscore

The concentration face 🤣
Year 6 Tigers have had a great day working with Mr Brown (an ICT wizard) to make a Christmas themed entertainment box. They coded their microbit to play a Christmas tune as well as show a Christmas themed message. Watch this space for their final videos.

Year 6 Tigers worked as a team this week to learn a new game during Commando Joe. Miss Stephenson #dcpscore #DCPStiger #dcpspe
Year 6 enjoyed their practical maths on Friday. They had to find equivalent fraction snap cards, create the jigsaw by multiplying the fractions to piece it altogether and colour in the picture based on the fractions they had to simplify to their lowest form. They were showing great resilience and determination. Well done Year 6 #dcpslion #DCPStiger #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Giraffes have had such a fantastic DT week so far! They have investigated different types of lights, explored circuits and even started carefully designing and making their own light boxes! They look amazing! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscore #dcpsdt
Year 6 Lions stars of the week- well done everyone! Some fantastic netball and art skills last week #dcpslion #dcpscore
Elephants have had a great start to our DT week. We are designing and making light boxes. Today we learned all about different signs and how they work. We then had a go building circuits. We had to think carefully about how to create an enclosed circuit so the electricity could flow and light the bulb. We even had a go with resistors and LEDs. We’re looking forward to designing tomorrow! #dcpselephant #dcpsdt #dcpsstem #dcpscore
A superb end to the week with our new 55 club member! Congratulations, the hard work and resilience of the children to achieve these goals is amazing! #dcpselephant #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Elephants enjoyed an online Coding pantomime today (and a cupcake!) We had to help programme a robot to make porridge just right for the three bears. We talked about coding, debugging and algorithms. It was great fun! #dcpselephant #dcpscomputing #dcpsictforlearning #dcpscore
Art week continues in Year 5! After careful planning and designing their dragon eyes, the children created clay versions of the eyes - scary!! Take a look at some excellent clay making skills! The children have loved it and can’t wait to paint them #dcpswhale #dcpsart #dcpscore
