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.
