In celebration of National Science Week, the children in Nursery and Pre-School have been investigating the lives of dinosaurs. The lesson was sparked by the children's curiosity as they began questioning where dinosaurs lived and what their environments were like.

To help answer these questions, the children accessed the playdough table to create their own dinosaur models. Using image references and Widgits, they worked to identify specific physical characteristics that provided clues about a dinosaur's lifestyle. They looked for features like long necks for reaching high trees, sharp teeth for eating meat, or wings for flying.

The children used a variety of resources on the table to mimic these characteristics in their own creations. This hands-on exploration allowed them to move from simple questioning to making scientific connections between an animal's body and its habitat or diet. It was a fantastic way to encourage critical thinking and observation skills while celebrating the wonder of the natural world.
