Dinosaur adventures

Today the children have been reading the story of 'Togg and Leftover' which is about a caveman that finds an egg left over from the days of the dinosaurs. Miraculously, the egg hatches to produce a dinosaur baby!
Over the next few weeks we will be acting out the story in the forest, pretending to hatch our own baby dinosaurs and build shelters for them.
Today we learnt about dinosaurs and how they were adapted to survive. We learnt about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. We made some dinosaurs out of clay eggs, produced some dinosaur collage and learnt all kinds of dinosaur facts.

We have already started with the Arctic and had some interesting conversations about the climate, Arctic animals and Inuit people!

Today we produced some fantastic icy artwork with igloos and snowy scenes. We have talked in detail about the different animals that live in the Arctic and how their bodies are designed to survive in cold temperatures. We even learnt how Inuit people build igloos. We will all be fine if the snow comes to England this winter!












Happy New Year!
