Watching these videos can support your child during periods of home learning.
While you are watching, your children may wish to make some notes. They could try to record the key vocabulary (and discuss what it means), or pause the video to draw some pictures or write a few sentences about what they have found out.
Does your children have any additional questions after they have watched? Would they like to watch a part of it again to review their learning? Could they find out more about the topic from a different source (e.g. a book or website)?
How could they record what they have discovered? They might want to draw some labelled diagrams or write a sentence / paragraph / page about the topic. If you have access to a mobile device, could they create an audio or a video report?
In the current climate, with children spending increasing amounts of time online during home schooling, Northumbria Police would like to highlight a programme on online safety which they believe you will find useful for protecting your children if included as part of their home learning package.
There are resources on the website targeted at different age groups. Parents/Carers could use the resource to assist as part of their learning and hopefully help keep them safe. Please click the link to learn more. Protecting Your Child Online

Today reception thoroughly enjoyed learning all about ‘The Christmas Story,’ and discovering why Christmas is celebrated by so many people around the world. The children did a great job of acting out the nativity, during our helicopter story session this afternoon. We discussed how this is a celebration to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who, according to the Christian religion, is the son of God. The children enjoyed retelling the story using the small word characters, showing great recall of the nativity. #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpsEYFS #dcpsre #dcpscore

James Taylor Ashton no where to be seen as usual 🥲😅💨
Since September Year 3 have been learning and recapping the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables. They are times table wizards! To help consolidate knowledge they made their own counting sticks and played calculation games to test their partner on their times table knowledge. It was so much fun! #dcpscore #dcpsturtle #dcpslizard #dcpsmaths

Year 3 Turtles have started their new oracy unit in English. By the end of the unit we will be performing a promotional video to sell a Stone Age house to a Stone Age person. We started off the unit by hot seating as a Stone Age person and played oracy games to get ourselves warmed up for all the talking we will be doing. #dcpscore #dcpsturtle #dcpsenglish #dcpsoracy

Reception have thoroughly enjoyed exploring our new topic that is all about taking care of our teeth. We read the story ‘Alan’s big scary teeth,’ about a very unhelpful alligator who lost his teeth after scaring all of the animals in the story. The children made their own maps to help Alan find his teeth and thought up ways he could use his teeth to help others instead of frightening people. The children came up with some great ideas such as, gardening shears and hairdressers scissors to name a few! This led nicely into our topic lesson where we discussed what we need to do to keep our teeth healthy, we discussed how we need to brush our teeth twice a day and have a healthy, balanced diet. The children were able to sort the correct food items on the healthy teeth boards, showing which foods are super healthy and what foods we should eat in moderation. We also enjoyed exploring the dentist equipment kit with the play dough and practicing cleaning our teeth with the toothbrushes on the giant teeth. #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore
