MrsL Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi, I want to do a lesson where the children design their own dinosaur in their small group work but I am struggling to think of ideas on what to do for the main teaching on the carpet. I really want to grab their imaginations. Any ideas gratefully received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Maybe a lovely story like 'Dinosaur Roar' or Harry and the Dinosaur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Meant to say that a friend of mine did a fab bit of work on dinosaurs starting with the discovery of a giant dinosaur egg out in the grounds ( she painted a melon white melon!!). It really fired the imagination - especially when a courier sent by London Zoo came to collect it some weeks later after the children had written to the zoo to explain what they had found. It seemed that its Mum had escaped from the Zoo a short time ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Scholastic's Nursery Education Plus have a dinosaur feature this month I think you can access most of the bits online... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 could you do omething on the iwb where you have ifferent parts of different dinosuars and the children help put them together to make their own up and then you could label it or something, a bit like a mr potatoe head game? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
