What did you enjoy most about our dinosaur workshop?

This week Year 1 have loved learning about dinosaurs and thoroughly enjoyed the dinosaur workshop on Tuesday.  They got to meet a triceratops, a velociraptor and a t-rex.  They then got to investigate different fossils and match them to the correct dinosaur.  They also got to learn about dinosaurs' diet and investigate coprolite (fossilised poo) to investigate whether they were carnivores, herbivores or omnivores.  The children also got to make dinosaur skeletons out of pasta and moulded clay into dinosaurs.

In English, we then wrote recounts to describe our dinosaur day, using full stops, finger spaces and capital letters.  In Maths we looked learnt how to use a number line to find more than and less than a given number.

In Science the children enjoyed participating in a tasting experiment where they used their sense to describe the foods that they ate.
