It has been wonderful to see the response from the children to our mini topic of 'Harry and his dinosaurs'. They have loved the stories and all the activities we have provided, especially finding out facts about their favourite dinosaurs. Enjoy looking at the following photos that show activities that cover many of the learning areas of the Foundation Phase which the children have been involved in! They have been soooo busy! And we have one more activity to come! - a trip to Cardiff museum to see the dinosaurs on show there!! Watch out for a letter really soon giving information about that exciting trip.
We had a visit from 'Harry' - he came to see if the children could help him find out some facts about his lovely friends the dinosaurs.
Harry loved colouring dinosaurs too!
This was the dinosaur scene that the children loved - they used their imagination to play with all the dinosaurs they found and then had to set it up again for another day.
They coloured, cut and stuck 5 different sized dinosaurs onto a jurassic scene.
It's been wonderful to see all the dinosaurs and dinosaur books that the children have brought into school.
'Harry and his dinosaur' colourings.
The children have been creating a dinosaur scene using the internet in the computer suite, there were a lot of different choices to make from landscapes to size/type of dinosaur.
They've dug in the sand to find all the dinosaurs hidden there!
They've watched a simple 'powerpoint' to discover simple facts (learning that a fact is something that is true) about dinosaurs. They found out that there were more than 600 types of dinosaur and that meat eaters were called 'carnivores' and plant eaters were called 'herbivores'.
They've played with all the dinosaurs and looked at all the 'fact' books that all the children have brought in, remembering to ask permission off the friend that had brought them in before they took them off our 'Let's investigate' table.
They've found dinosaurs in the soil and sorted them into colour groups
They've made dinosaurs out of anything they could find!
We have had some amazing paintings of dinosaurs!
And made fantastic dinosaur models out of clay!
After having dug for a dinosaur in the soil, the children had to identify which one it was off an identification sheet, copy it's name and describe one feature it had e.g. stegasaurus - it has spikes
They've chosen to write about their favourite part of the story of 'Harry and the bucketful of dinosaurs' and looked for their favourite dinosaur in the fact books, written down its name and listened to the information on the dinosaur and chosen and written 1 or 2 facts about it.
