Dolphin Class - Year 1 and 2

Welcome to Dolphin Class!

TERM 3

Term 3 Dinosaur Planet

Stomp, crash, roar! Watch out – there are dinosaurs about! Yes, that’s right, we’re travelling back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.

This half term, we’ll look closely at ancient fossils and study reptiles to understand how dinosaurs may have lived and eventually died out. We’ll learn about the great fossil hunter, Mary Anning, and follow in her footsteps, studying dinosaur teeth and bones to find out what dinosaurs liked to eat. Learning dinosaur names, creating exciting dinosaur stories are some of the other activities we’ll be involved in this half term. We’ll also use our artistic skills to make model dinosaurs and to design dinosaur landscapes.

HOME LEARNING

Please ensure that you listen to your child read each day and record in their Reading Record.

You will receive a login to Times Tables Rockstars and Ed Shed daily. Logins for these platforms are stuck in to your child's reading record. If you cannot find these details please speak to Mrs Handford.

Help your child prepare for Dinosaur Planet at home.
Dinosaurs are fascinating! Why not visit the library, choose some dinosaur books and practise reading and writing dinosaur names together? Alternatively, research amazing dinosaur facts together online. You could also make a mini Jurassic Park from cardboard boxes and craft materials to make model dinosaurs feel at home!

If you require further support with any of the home learning arrangements, please speak to Mrs Handford.
