Learning about dinosaurs is always a topic that brings a lot of excitement in the Early Years Building, as the children stomp about to their favourite dinosaur songs!
Our Reception palaeontologists explore this topic through a lot of hands on experience, becoming researchers of history as they dig for fossils! What did they look like? How do we know they existed? What happened to the dinosaurs? These are all questions the children have been exploring this week!
In our small worlds trays, the children are able to imagine what life might have been like back in the time of the dinosaurs, and have fun role playing a day in the life of their favourite dinosaurs. Can you guess the dinosaur who is the most popular amongst the children? It’s the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the lizard king!

Year 4 recently embarked on a thought-provoking unit of work, stepping into the shoes of Rainforest Detectives to solve a serious environmental mystery, in the hope of changing the future of the rainforest.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
