Palaeontologists

This morning, year 1 arrived at school to find footprints, fossils and eggs in the classroom! The children quickly became Archaeologists and used their skills in pairs to carefully crack open the eggs. The children found different dinosaurs in them! When the children learned that the footprints must have come from a dinosaur, they became Palaeontologists and used different tools delicately to find fossils and dinosaurs. The children could identify and name some of the dinosaurs / fossils.


What happened to the Dinosaur?

Happy New Year, Year 1! We cannot wait to see you all back at school tomorrow (Monday 6th January 2025)

Our new topic for this half term is called 'What happened to the dinosaurs?' This is a history based topic where we learn about Mary Anning, do an archaeological dig and find out about lots of different dinosaurs.
