Year 1 Dinosaur Workshop

What a great way to begin a new learning project! At the start of Term 2 (November 2016),  Birch Class spent the morning as palaeontologists...

Take a look at some of the photos taken during the workshop - they're great!

In the photos, you can see the children fully engaged in their tasks and learning lots about the prehistoric dinosaurs from millions of years ago....a fantastic way to introduce a new topic to the children!

Thank you to Miss Selby for organising the visit and to Dr Helen from PalaeoQuest for leading this highly interactive and absorbing session.

Carefully using paintbrushes to move the sand and discover fossils...

Wow! Look what we've discovered!

Magnifying glasses help us to look more closely and carefully....


Look at the size of that bone?!


Carefully does it....
