More Fun with Dinosaurs

Stepping back in time, students were able to take simple materials which were set out for them and create play experiences for themselves and their friends. 

Classroom paleontologists tried their hand at digging for bones in our Dinosaur Bone Sensory Bin.



Our dinosaur study took on a mathematical spin as students were provided with a copy of a footprint of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Students took 'bones' and measured the length and the perimeter of the footprint. Later in the week, the children were asked to surrender their own shoes for a moment at the learning carpet as we used them to measure the area of the T-Rex footprint.




Who could pass up an opportunity to watch a volcano erupt? Not us! The children took several days to construct and paint a model volcano. With mounting anticipation and great excitement, the volcano was put to the test. Look closely and see if you can see the red lava.




Great fun and learning was had by all!
