In the Dangerous Dinosaurs project, your child will find out about prehistoric animals that lived on Earth. They will learn facts about dinosaurs and discover how big some of these giant creatures were. They will learn about the difference between carnivores and herbivores. They will also find out about the animals that lived after the dinosaurs and which modern-day animals have prehistoric relatives.
Supporting your child at home
Go onto the Natural History Museum website and look at interesting facts about dinosaurs together.
Go to the CBeebies Dinosaurs website and explore the games and videos together.
Look up interesting dinosaur facts to share with the class.
Share and discuss the Did you know? resource.
As Foundation Stage 1 we will be singing lots of songs daily, especially nursery rhymes as this helps with our speech, sounds and awareness of rhyme and rhythm.
We will explore early counting with simple number songs and games.
We will enjoy all kinds of stories linked to our topic or simply ones that we like.
But most of all we will learn to play and learn together, build good friendships, begin to understand what makes us and others happy or sad, and work together to create a safe, happy and nurturing environment for us all.
Don’t forget to look out for photos we put on your child’s Dojo and please share experiences from home on there too. We love learning about the things the children enjoy out of school.
