Dinosaurs Galore!

We started the week by exploring the Natural History Museum website to find information about dinosaurs.  The children were fascinated by how many different dinosaurs there were and how much scientists have discovered about them all.  During Forest Schools, we spent our time digging and exploring looking for evidence of Pre-historic life at THLPS.  The children used their imaginations and some rather 'interesting' things were found.

 The children investigated different ways to join paper to make a moving dinosaur and discovered that split-pins were the best.  They then used this knowledge to create their own moving dinosaurs which they decorated using a variety of different media. 

 We have been learning about non-fiction books and using these to research dinosaur facts and information.  Using the facts that we have learned, we have made our own information text. To make our writing more appealing to the reader, we used a variety of different sentence openers.

Week Ahead:
