Since Term 2 started, early years reception students have been studying dinosaurs! The experience has proved to be meaningful and interesting to all.
Our young children are naturally fascinated by dinosaurs and some of them had already experienced playing with toy dinosaurs and begun to learn their names. The fact that dinosaurs come in all shapes and sizes, and present an exciting world of possibilities to children, makes them an ideal stimulus for learning.
We have learnt that in the distant past, before people lived on the Earth, there were dinosaurs roaming! No one has ever seen a real and alive dinosaur before, but our students now know lots about them – they have learnt their names, their characteristics and life cycle, and they have even become palaeontologists!
