Closure Activities

What you can do if DPS is closed for any reason.

If the school is to be closed for an extended period of time,

your teacher will share your learning activities on: P1-3 Just2Easy and P4-7 Microsoft Teams.

If you are having any problems accessing Just2Easy or Teams or having difficulty finding where to look, ask your parent to email dunningparents@pkc.gov.uk and someone will be in touch to help.

Remember - You can find lots of information on the school website to help.

In the Parent Area - Parent Information Leaflets
- Learning Links, Presentation policy, Writing grids, Parent help sheets etc

For short term closures, you can...

First of all: Check if you have fully completed your ‘normal’ homework tasks to the very best of your ability.

Then: Look at your ‘Learning Links’ for suggested activities/websites for activities.

Also:

P3-7 Practice and try to learn your Times Tables ‘off by heart’
P1-2 Practice 'Number Stories' e.g. Story of 5 is 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5-2=3, 5-3=2, 4+1 =5, etc
Play literacy or maths games e.g. snakes & ladders, battleships, word searches, chess, I spy, cards games.
Read a book and write a book review to encourage others to read it if you enjoyed it OR why to avoid it!
Create a new game based on what you have been learning in school recently.
Write a story/poem/report linked to your classwork or recent school activity.
Follow a recipe to bake/cook something special for your family (with adult supervision).
Teach someone enough French so that they could hold a short conversation.
If possible, go outside to play, get some physical exercise and most importantly, have fun with friends or family :-)
