School Dinosaur Workshop

 "Fantastic workshop. Amazing with the children.  Really hands-on investigative learning.

Year 1 teacher, Thomas's Day School.

Become palaeontologists in this exciting dinosaur workshop. Get your hands on real dinosaur fossils, and some spectacular replicas in your own school.

How big were they? What did they eat? What was their world like? How long ago did they live?

Learn how to find out the answers for yourself using the fossil clues.

 Examine a claw as long as your arm, a horn as long as your leg, a footprint that your whole class can stand on, hold real dinosaur poo, find out what Jurassic actually means. Suitable for Reception - Year 6.  All activities in this school workshop are linked with "Working Scientifically" targets.

In this workshop we Work Scientifically by:

comparing and sorting,

making observations and classifying,

listening,

seeking patterns,

recording data,

questioning,

observing change over (prehistoric) time,

drawing conclusions
