We our loving our Space topic in Dragon class. We have been learning all about what it is like on each planet, what it is like being an astronaut and why planet earth is the perfect planet to live on. One of our tasks was to create an information poster about all of the planets in the solar system. #dcpsdragon#dcpshistory#dcpscore...
🏃♀️🤸 What an amazing start to PE in year 1! 🏃🤸♀️
We have had a fantastic start to our PE lessons this year! We have been very lucky and had Connor and Shay join us from NE Coaching Co for our Friday morning PE sessions, helping us to develop our physical skills. 🌟 This half term, we have been focusing on or balance, coordination, agility and speed, and the children have been absolutely fantastic! They have shown such wonderful independence and determination when approaching each new challenge. 💪✨ We have had lots of fun moving our bodies in different ways to represent different animals, and have been particularly impressed with our fantastic frog jumps! 🐸 The children have been working on their jumping skills and are even starting to give Shay a run for his money! 😆🏃 We are super impressed with the effort, enthusiasm and determination everyone has shown. What a brilliant start to our PE journey, Year 1! Keep it up, Pandas and Polar Bears! 🐼🐻❄️🌈 #dcpspandas#dcpspolarbears#dcpscore#dcpspe...
👀👂👃👅👋 What a fantastic week we have had in science! 👀👂👃👅👋
As part of our ‘This is me!’ topic, we have been learning all about our five senses - touch, smell, hearing, sight and taste. We have had so much fun taking part in lots of exciting, hands-on activities to help us understand how we use our senses to explore the world around us.
🍓Jelly experiment: We used our different senses to investigate jelly and made predictions about which flavour we thought it might be. We had lots of fun using our senses to help us work out the mystery flavour!
🎈Balloon experiment: We used our sense of touch to feel different objects hidden inside balloons and made predictions about what we thought was inside. We were fantastic at using our descriptive language to explain what we could feel, and loved opening them up and finding out at the end!
🎶 Sensory walk: We enjoyed exploring our school on a sensory walk, stopping to use our senses to investigate different things around us. We particularly enjoyed exploring the musical instruments and listening carefully to the sounds they made.
We have had a wonderful week of learning through exploration and investigation. We are so proud of how curious and enthusiastic our Year 1 scientists have been! 🌟🌈 #dcpspandas#dcpspolarbears#dcpscore#dcpsscience...
Another super week with Connor and Shay from NE Coaching Co. Reception moved like different animals — crawling like bears, jumping like frogs and using their bodies in lots of different ways. 🐻🐸 These fun movements are helping them to develop their core strength, balance, coordination and speed, while building confidence and having lots of fun along the way! 💪⚡️ Our children are becoming stronger and more skilful movers every day! 👏😊 #dcpsEYFS#dcpsladybird#dcpsbutterfly#dcpscore#dcpspe...
Thank you! 💚 We have raised £121.16 so far for Macmillan! That’s £86.66 in cash donations and £34.50 online! Thank you so much to those of you who baked and donated and to those of you who came, ate and spent! It’s hugely appreciated 💚 💜🌈🥰 ...
PT2.🍂🐿️ Autumn has arrived in Reception! 🐿️🍂 Our classroom has been feeling wonderfully autumnal this week as we’ve been enjoying the story The Squirrels Who Squabbled. 📚🍁
We’ve been developing our fine motor skills by practising our SkillsBoard skill of the week — using scissors carefully to cut along lines. ✂️ We’ve been busy cutting out shapes and creating our very own squirrel masks! We have also loved using paint and various materials to create our own autumnal leaves. I think rolling paint conkers was a definite hit! 🥰 #dcpsEYFS#dcpsladybird#dcpsbutterfly#dcpsDT#dcpscore...

In Nursery, we love giving our children opportunities to make their own choices and develop their independence. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be exploring different choices for our toast and sandwiches! 🥪 Today, the children enjoyed making toast and choosing their own toppings. We encouraged them to verbalise their choices and, where possible, explain why they had chosen them. We had lots of lovely conversations and some very definite opinions! 😋 The children had a choice of butter, different jams and, as a special treat, a nut-free chocolate spread. They then had the opportunity to practise spreading their own toast, with adult support when needed. We also continued to build on our positional language learning from previous weeks. As the children chose and spread their toppings, we encouraged them to talk about where things were, using words such as on, underneath, beside, next to, in front of and behind. It was lovely to see the children beginning to use this language naturally as they talked about their toast and sandwiches. A big focus throughout the experience was making choices. The children were encouraged to decide which topping they wanted, how much they wanted and how they wanted to spread it. These simple opportunities help children to develop confidence in making decisions and expressing their own preferences. ❤️ These everyday experiences are fantastic for developing Independence and confidence� Communication, language and positional vocabulary�. Decision-making and expressing preferences�. Understanding and using positional language� Fine motor skills and coordination�🍽️ Practical life skills The children absolutely loved making their own toast today and were so proud of their creations! It was wonderful to see them making their own choices, trying things independently and talking about what they had done. 🥰 We can’t wait to see what choices they make over the coming weeks! ✨ #dcpspshe#dcpsmaths#dcpscatetpillar#dcpseyfs...
