This week’s theme is DINOSAURS
Dinosaurs lived a long time ago. Long before Grandmas and Grandpas were born. People have found dinosaur bones and footprints.
Why don’t you make your own footprints and tracks? Where will your tracks go?
Did you know that dinosaurs hatch from eggs? Just like a chick! Here are some chicks that hatched in Beattock a few weeks ago. They look soft and fluffy. Do you remember when we hatched chicks and ducklings at nursery?
Here’s a video of Andy on an adventure. He sees a baby Diplodocus dinosaur hatch from an egg.
Would you like to make your own nest for a dinosaur egg? What will you use to keep the eggs safe and warm? Look at this warm nest made by Tim.
Here are some of your nursery friends making and painting nest boxes at home.
SNACK TIME!
Time for snack after all that stomping like a dinosaur and making nests. Look at these fun dinosaur snacks. Which one do you like?
Time for Miss Musiej’s COOK SCHOOL.
This week Miss Musiej has made some very tasty tomato soup. Have a look! Click on the title below to see the recipe and to see Miss Musiej making the soup.

DINOSAUR SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS!
CAN YOU MELT ICE AGE DINOSAUR EGGS?
Find a toy dinosaur or any wee toy. Put it in a plastic tub, like an ice cream tub. Fill the tub with water. Put it in the freezer. You’ll have to wait ONE DAY before you can try to melt the ice age dinosaurs. How will you melt them?
Yes, that’s right. The sun will melt it. So will warm water. So will salt. I’m glad you remembered.
Why not try these other ice experiments? Or make your own ice lollies!
Some dinosaurs eat meat. They are called carnivores. Some dinosaurs eat plants. They are the herbivores. Go out to your garden and pick some leaves to make a salad for your herbivore dinosaur!
Look at this wee girl. She is picking leaves with her sister to make a salad. She has been learning the names of leaves and flowers.

Benny the Puppy
Benny liked hearing about dinosaurs today. He’s going to dress up like a Palaeontologist and look for dinosaur fossils! He found hats and shoes and a bag for all the bones and fossils he might find. (Not sure if Palaeontologists wear ties??? But Benny thought they were very smart so he wanted to look smart!)
Benny remembers seeing you when you came to nursery dressed up. You wanted to be an Engineer and an Art Doctor. Hope you have fun dressing up today. Wonder what you’ll be?
