This week, we started our new topic: What happened to the dinosaurs? Our classrooms have been transformed to include dinosaur digs, palaeontology research stations and lots of fun dinosaur themed activities. The children have settled well into the curriculum and are already wowing us with their knowledge on dinosaurs and the pre-historic period.
We started researching different dinosaur species and wrote some fabulous descriptive paragraphs. In History, we looked at the role of a palaeontologist and looked at the evidence we have for the dinosaurs' existence.
In Maths, we have begun our unit on Place Value. The children have representing numbers pictorially and with objects. If you'd like to explore more of Place Value with your children at home, we would recommend the BBC Teach unit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8sfr82
Next week, we will be investigating how the dinosaurs disappeared...
