Dinosaur Activities

Our fortnightly topic is on dinosaurs. We have had plenty of fun looking and comparing dinosaurs.  We have been busy with lots of dinosaur activities.  We counted cubes and made dinosaurs from them, drew lots of pen drawings of our favourite dinosaur and we made mind maps with lots of dinosaur facts.

Using a ruler!

We did lots of measuring with a ruler in our books to see how long the lines were then we continued our measuring outside.  We measured lots of things including bricks and leaves. We had lots of fun.

Mini Beast Hunt

Before we went on our mini beast hunt we discussed what mini beasts are and their identifying features. We went on a mini beast hunt around the school grounds and in the park.  We took magnifying glasses and pots and collected some mini beasts.  We brought them back into school where we compared and discussed them.  We then set them free in our garden.

Pirate Party

The children had a fabulous day being pirates. They did lots of pirate activities in the morning followed by pirate games, pirate dancing and a pirate feast in the afternoon.

Bristol Zoo

We had a fabulous day out in Bristol Zoo.  The parrots enjoyed being fed by us as much as we enjoyed feeding them! We were a little scared at times when we saw some of the dinosaurs but they were brilliant to watch. The seal talk was interesting and it was nice to see the seal doing tricks.
