Year 1 Dinosaur Day

Incredible Dinosaur 

  • The word dinosaur comes from the Greek language. ...
  • Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for more than 150 million years. ...
  • Dinosaurs became extinct about 65.5 million years ago. ...
  • Baby tyrannosaurs were probably adorable. ...
  • The largest land-based dinosaur was the Argentinosaurus huinculensis.

Today has been a ROAR-ing success in Year 1!  As part of their Topic – Dinosaurs, the children have been very busy making masks and skeletons, digging for fossils, and have been learning a Dinosaur dance which they performed for their parents.  Mr Canavan had to explain to the parents that a naughty Dinosaur made a big mess of the classrooms before the children came in this morning!  The children had to clear up after the messy Dinosaur so it was a busy start!

 It has been a very interesting day but the children (and parents) enjoyed themselves!
