Discovery with a Dinosaur Twist!

On Friday we had our first Discovery time session. We had people making pancakes, dressing up, working with wood and playing musical instruments. It was very busy!!

We also created some dinosaur worlds using  sand in a box with bits of fern and bushes, rocks and lots of model dinosaurs. We had lots of fun creating volcanoes and places for the dinosaurs to live.

We could also explore pictures of dinosaur skeletons in books and had a go at creating our own dinosaur bones pictures. They look a bit like x-rays.

Discovery time makes Friday our favourite day of the week!

The Big Dig

On Tuesday we went digging in the sandpit.

We found some very unusual blue rocks.

They were about the size of our hands.

When we 'cracked' the rocks open we found 

something surprising inside!

Dinosaurs!! We talked about our ideas

and knowledge of dinosaurs and decided

we wanted to find  all  about them.

We will keep you posted with our new discoveries!

Artists at Work

 

We have painted pictures of ourselves. We talked about the different parts of our faces 

and where we should paint them. We talked about the colour of our eyes and hair and lips and eyebrows.

We framed our portraits and made them colourful  so everyone would notice them.

We have hung them up in our classroom and they look great!!!

Please come and have a look at the rest if you can make it in!
