Primary 1a and 1b have had a couple of very exciting afternoons !  Prof. D. Inosaur left us all a note saying that there were dinosaur fossils buried somewhere in our school ! Well, as you can imagine this caused great excitement amongst the children.  Where could they be ? And what is a fossil ?   Luckily for us, our kind professor told us in his letter all about fossils and he left us clues to find the fossils.

Our clues led us outside.  We found a spade in our playground and started digging.  Just as he had said, we found lots and lots of dinosaur fossils ! These were so cool.  We had a good look at them, guessing the name of each dinosaur from the print on the fossil.  It was great fun.

To help us to develop our understanding more, we then played a matching game.  We had to match the picture of the dinosaur to its fossil.  Thes dinosaur pictures were hidden all around our room, so we had to have a good look for them. We also made a start making our very own dinosaur fossil picture out of cotton buds.  We cannot wait until they are finished.

Well done everyone for working hard  !
