Dinosaur Discovery in P1

Archie the archaeologist has paid us another visit and left behind a very special egg!  Inside was a cute, cuddly, fluffy green baby dinosaur!  We decided to call him Dino and he is taking it in turns to go home with P1M children at the end of each school day.  We have learned lots about Dinosaurs this week and know that the word dinosaur means ‘terrible lizard.’  Some of the boys in primary 1 know lots of facts and information about Dinosaurs and really are ‘Dinosaur Experts’ already!  They are helping Mrs McKay and Mrs Sutherland pronounce dinosaur names correctly and sharing their knowledge with everyone in P1.

Carefully taking the dinosaur egg to show P1S what was discovered in P1M after lunch!

The girls were sure they heard something moving about inside the egg and were listening carefully.

We went on a dinosaur hunt and managed to find all of the dinosaur pictures that were hidden in the playground-great detective work P1!

A Mystery and a Challenge

There was a visitor in the Primary 1 classroom at lunchtime. We had no idea who it was, but some of us thought we heard footsteps and a door closing.

The visitor left us a letter on very , very old crumpled paper.

We have a mission! We have to help Archie the Archeologist find out all that we can about dinosaurs as he has forgotten his notebooks!

We know lots of dinosaur facts already, such as that they are extinct. This means that we don’t need to worry about finding a real one in the class! We know that some had long necks and some had spikes to protect them. We are going to find out lots more to help Archie!

More Whirry Bangs from Primary 1

Here are some more Whirry Bangs for you to look at. We are enjoying seeing them, and hearing all about how the children have designed them and what materials they have chosen.
