Year 1M

Year 1M Dinosaurs are ROARSOME!

Well, in Year 1 we’ve learnt that there are very special things called fossils that can give us special clues about these dinosaurs. They can sometimes tell us how big they were, maybe how they moved, or how many legs they had! Woah!

We all then became detectives online as we tried to match the dinosaur models to what they might have looked like and looked at pictures of real-life fossils! It’s amazing how these have survived!

Millions and millions of years ago… dinosaurs roamed the planet. So how can we find out about dinosaurs today?

We also became palaeontologists and had a go at understanding how careful they have to be when searching and working with fossils! We put on our scientist bows and started to think like detectives. We had a go at trying to dig out chocolate chips from some cookies, making sure we didn’t scratch, squish, or break any precious chocolate chips! We can tell you, it was pretty tricky! We were excited when we managed to pick even one out! So who could imagine how excited palaeontologist are when they find special treasures from millions of years ago! We also had a go at making our own fossil imprints using some dinosaur models we had in class. We had to be careful with these too, not to change the imprints we made! A real challenge…but worth the treasure we found in the end!
