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.

The Dinos have started their computing unit looking at how to control an onscreen “turtle” by giving precise instructions. Our first step was just to have a go and see what we could do. Trickier stuff to follow. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscomputing #dcpscore
The Y2 Dinos paid a visit to St Mary’s Church last week to see what it would be like for a baby to be baptised. Reverend Kim kindly baptised Kiki Lala alongside her “parents” and “godparents”. The children had loads of questions and loved seeing first hand what they’d learned about in class. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsre #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Our first Dino to achieve a 10 club badge 👏🏻 We have several more children snapping at his heels, keen to be times table whizz kids. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Year 4 Giraffes have had great start to their new STEM unit of Electricity. We starting by thinking about what we already knew about Electricity and then started some research into influential scientists such as Thomas Edison and Joesph Swan. We used all of our facts to create class posters. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsstem #dcpscore #dcpsnetworker #dcpscomputing
We have been super busy in year 4. In maths we have been looking at multiplying and dividing. We used place value counters to help us break down tricky problems and used our place value knowledge to solve calculations. #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
55 club success continues in year 4. Well done to this superstar for gaining their 45 club badge! #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Wow well done 👏🏻 x x
Well done Jazmin! X
Ahoy me matey! Reception are LOVING the new pirate theme this half term! Our story of the week is Pirates love Underpants and today we have been super busy doing all things ‘piratey’ From making treasure maps to excavating numbers in the sand, creating our own ocean water washes and designing traps for the pirates, it’s all been going on! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore
This week the full time Nursery children helped our puppet Olly plan his first camping trip. We planned everything he might need to bring with him on his camping trip and had fun making our own campfire crafts. The children helped set up his tent and went fishing in our water tray. We gathered sticks for our campfire and discussed how we would keep ourselves safe around a campfire as we pretended to toast some marshmallows. We are looking forward to next week when we will actually toast some marshmallows around our campfire for real #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpslotc #dcpscore #dcpspshe
Amazing couldn’t wish for a better school nursery for my little Ashton 💜
Year 5 have started using their new Maths programme ‘Freckle’. They enjoyed working through the questions, collecting the coins and unlocking items in their shop. They all have their logins for this, so could do some of the maths games at home and impress you with their knowledge! #dcpsdolphin #dcpswhale #dcpscore #dcpsmaths
As part of the Bon Jovi unit, the children did a lot of work on clapping out the rhythm and then playing musical patterns on the glockenspiels. They did really well on this unit and are starting work on their ‘Rap’ unit. If you were walking past Year 5 on Thursday afternoon, you would have heard them starting to learn the words of the theme tune to, ‘The Fresh Prince of Belair’. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpsmusic
Year 5 have been doing a music unit all around Bon Jovi’s song, ‘Living on a prayer’. They have enjoyed appraising, then learning the song and rocking out especially to the chorus. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpsmusic
Love it well done 👍

Year 5 have been enjoying their PE lessons this half term. They are being great networkers and working as a team to carry out adventurous activities. So far they’ve had to lead their partner blind folder by using the touch of a finger or clapping, swapped hoops with a friend on their team without speaking, before another person has taken the hoop and moved around the room to find the letters corresponding to numbers, in the fastest time, before trying to make as many words from the letters as they could. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpspe
After spotting some ice on the yard last week the full time nursery children have loved investigating what ice is and where it comes from. They were set the challenge to free some toys stuck in the ice as they investigated how they could melt the ice the fastest using either hot or cold water or sprinkling salt on it. We had fun painting with ice and noticed that our paper was getting very wet. After discovering that ice is made by freezing water the children decided to make their own ice lollies using a range of fruit juices and smoothies. We of course had to try a range of juices before deciding on what flavour we would like our lolly to be. Today we enjoyed our lollies as part of our snack time which tasted amazing! The nursery children were so impressed with their efforts they have asked to make ice cream next week. #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpsstem #dcpscore #dcpslotc

Reception had lots of fun in NUFC this morning with Robbie. Using hoops, they played a game of Peppa Pig where they had to jump in as many muddy puddles as possible, practicing their jumping skills. After, they played tag but used a ball to catch their opponents! #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpspe #dcpscore #dcpsnufc
Year 3 Lizards had a brilliant session with NUFC today! Look at us throwing, catching and networking in our teams. #dcpscore #dcpspe #dcpslizard
Below are some useful resources circulated by Northumbria Police to help protect our children through education. #dcpscore
The Dragons love our topic The Great Fire of London. They are absolute experts, ask them anything about it! When? Where? How? They know all the answers. They really enjoyed putting the events in chronological order. Here are their proud, smiley faces with their hard work! #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpstopic
The Dragons have been working so hard on their handwriting recently. We like to do hand and finger exercises before the lessons to help get us ready! #dcpscore #dcpsdragon #dcpsliteracy
I'm sure my Henry has just done a wink at the camera lol
This gorgeous girl holds the door open every lunchtime for the younger children. #dcpsgracious #dcpscore 🙏💜🌈🥰
Well done 👍 x
Year 3 were networking this morning to sort out facts and opinions #dcpsenglish #dcpscore #dcpsturtle
This half term, as part of our mini topic of Antarctica/penguins, we have been investigating ice. We were keen to explore different states of water and were fascinated to see what happened when we placed trays of water outside over night. We made predictions and loved exploring the ice that had formed! We quickly realised that the ice wouldn’t last long inside due the heat and discussed how it melted back into water. #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpsSTEM #dcpscore
These two boys are gracious in every way and always go the extra mile. Today they asked if they could clean the yard so Mr Robinson wouldn’t have to. 🙏💜🌈🥰 #dcpscore #dcpsgracious
How canny 😊
Aww bless them . Xx
Aww that’s lovely, well done boys 👏👏👏

The Dinos are loving learning about The Great Fire of London. As part of that we have thought about timelines and how major events come in a particular order. Our task was to put the timeline in the correct order ourselves. #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore #dcpshistory
Well done Harry xx💕
The Whales working hard on their new English unit - writing an Anglo-Saxon legend. The children have been using our WAGOLL text ‘Beowulf’ to create a writer’s toolkit, focusing on the impact on the reader. Here they are finding examples from the text and matching them to the correct grammatical feature! #dcpswhale #dcpsenglish #dcpscore
This week in nursery we have been exploring shape. The full time nursery children began by exploring circles. We threaded circles, printing with circles and even made large circles in the air with ribbon or on a large sheet of paper. We explored the properties of circles as we noticed the tyres outside where round and found that they were the perfect shape for rolling so we set ourselves the challenge to see who could roll their tyre the furthest. We then looked at other shapes and made our own shape monsters. Today we made some shape biscuits which were delicious! #dcpsEYFS #dcpscaterpillar #dcps30hours #dcpsmaths #dcpslotc #dcpscore
Our Key Stage 1 winners! Your children are just amazing. #dcpscore .💜🌈🥰

Year 4 Giraffes developed their understanding of paragraphs and newspaper reports today by reordering a report that had got a bit mixed up! We have to read each paragraph and then order these so that the report made sense once again. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscore #dcpsenglish
Year 6 visited Safetyworks yesterday afternoon to learn about how we can keep ourselves safe in different situations inside and outside of the home. We took part in a range of different scenarios where we had to decide what to do and how the emergency services can help us. We learned lots of helpful tips that will help to keep us safe in the future! #dcpslion #dcpspshe #dcpscore #dcpslotc
Some great work from our Y4 Elephants yesterday as they started their Bike4Health programme. #dcpscore #dcpspe #dcpselephant
Isabelle loved the session! Well done kids
Year 4 have been carrying on with their multiplication and division work in maths. We have been looking at factor pairs and efficient multiplication, working out the best ways to solve multiplication questions. We used practical methods and lots of discussion to help us secure our learning. #dcpselephant #dcpsgiraffe #dcpsmaths #dcpscore
Year 4 have been hard at work since the start of term. Elephants have been getting to grips with our new Ancient Greeks topic. We have been constructing timelines and are starting find out about the people that lived there. #dcpselephant #dcpshistory #dcpscore

The Whales have returned to school with an amazing attitude! They have been working so hard in our Oracy unit - learning all about how to communicate effectively, improving our speaking and listening skills. The children have been working their socks off so far. Here they are working on their speaking skills and proof of listening techniques. They have worked together to plan their speeches on a really important subject - how drugs can impact our physical and mental health. Rehearsal time tomorrow! #dcpscore #dcpswhale #dcpsenglish #dcpslifeskills
This little angel chose to cut her hair in order to donate it and raise money for the Little Princess Trust, who provide real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment and other conditions.

Year 5 have used their working scientifically skills this week to explore Forces. They enjoyed finding out the effects of air resistance and gravity on parachutes and investigated if increasing weight on a parachute increases the speed it falls, or if the height the parachute is dropped from, affects the length of time it takes to fall to the ground. #dcpsdolphin #dcpscore #dcpsstem
Year 5 have been learning about levers, pulleys and gears as part of their STEM this week. They enjoyed applying their learning to make their lever Christmas card with a moving Santa Claus. #dcpsdolpin #dcpsstem #dcpscore #dcpsdt

Dolphins enjoyed their last biking session this week. They enjoyed cycling to the Royal Quays and seeing the ship at the port. #dcpsdolphin #dcpspe #dcpscore #dcpslotc
We have worked so hard this week in Lion class to make our own baubles out of felt. It was hard work as we had to create our design, make a template, accurately measure and cut our materials and then decorate and attach our pieces using a range of stitches. We are so proud of our finished products. We think they look amazing and will be a great addition to our Christmas trees at home! #dcpslion #dcpsdt #dcpscore
The Dinos enjoyed their last session with Robbie from NUFC today. We have worked hard to develop our dodging skills over the last 6 weeks so it was time to put them into practice with a few games of dodgeball. #dcpspe #dcpsdinosaur #dcpscore
Year 4 had a fantastic time at their Christmas party this afternoon. We played games and had some delicious party food. We also enjoyed the awesome dance floor moves, move over Strictly!

The Year 6 Tigers have been completing their Christmas bauble DT unit over the last two weeks. They have analysed existing products, conducted market research, designed and planned their own bauble and even learned to sew along the way! Today, they managed to finish their products and they look absolutely brilliant. Determined attitudes, new skills and creative minds were put to the test, but they have all done a fantastic job! #DCPStiger #dcpsart #dcpsdt #dcpscore
The year 6 Tigers took a trip to Santa’s grotto this morning where they got to see Santa and his elf. They enjoyed some hot chocolate and Christmas colouring too! #dcpstiger #dcpscore
After an exciting morning visiting Santa himself it was back to work this afternoon in Giraffe class, working hard on our Lifeskills unit Economic wellbeing. We have been discussing why we need jobs, what a salary is and how we can manage our money and try to stop ourselves becoming bankrupt in the future. #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscore #dcpspshe #dcpslifeskills #dcpsnetworking
It has been an exciting day in Year 4 Giraffes, we all got an unexpected visit from Mr Claus himself! With the addition of hot chocolate, marshmallows and Christmas colouring, it has been a brilliant day! #dcpsgiraffe #dcpscore
