This week we were continuing to learn how big dinosaurs really were. We were so surprised last week when we learned how giant they were, so this week we learned about the size of parts of their bodies.

First, Miss Wilson showed us a life-sized t-rex’s footprint and we had to make predictions about how many of our own footprints would fit inside! Miss Wilson also showed us a footprint of a brachiosaurus and a stegosaurus’ plate. Some children guessed around 20 of our footprints would fit inside these, some children estimated that 155 of our footprints would fit inside!

Next, we drew around our footprints on a bit of paper and cut them out. Then we decorated them and stuck them on one of the life-sized prints.

We discovered that 25 of our footprints fitted into the t-rex’s giant footprint!

We discovered that 43 of our footprints fitted into the brachiosaurus’ giant footprint!

We discovered that 27 of our footprints fitted into the giant stegosaurus’ plate that would be on his back!

We really enjoyed this activity and learned even more about how big these dinosaurs really were.

We are looking forward to showing you what we have been learning at our class assembly on Friday 4th March. Our assembly will begin at 9:15am so try to get there earlier if you would like a seat 🙂
