Dd – Dinosaur
What a fun two weeks of learning all about dinosaurs!
Dino Time! A Fun Adventure into the World of Dinosaurs!
Hi little explorers!
Are you ready to stomp, roar, and chomp like a dinosaur? Let’s go back in time—waaaay back—to when dinosaurs ruled the Earth!
What Are Dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs were BIG reptiles that lived a long, long time ago—before there were people, cars, or even toys! Some dinosaurs were as tall as buildings, and some were small enough to fit in a bathtub!
Meet Some Dino Friends:
Tyrannosaurus Rex – This dino had tiny arms but a BIG mouth full of sharp teeth. Can you give your loudest ROAR?
Triceratops – He had three horns on his head and a big frill like a crown. What a cool dino!
Brachiosaurus – Sooo tall! He had a super long neck to reach leaves way up high in the trees!
Stegosaurus – This dino had bony plates on his back and a spiky tail. Watch out!
What Did Dinosaurs Eat?
Some dinosaurs liked to munch on plants (like broccoli and leaves!), and others liked to eat meat. Plant-eaters are called herbivores, and meat-eaters are called carnivores. Can you guess which is which?
Dino Fun at Home!
Draw your favorite dinosaur – Don’t forget the spikes and tails!
Stomp like a dino – March around like a giant dinosaur!
Sing a dino song – Make up a silly tune about dinosaurs!
Dino Fact.
Did you know that paleontologists are scientists who dig up dinosaur bones? They find dino skeletons in the ground and put them back together like puzzles!
We listened to some fun songs with even more information about Dinosaurs. Even our worksheets were dinosaur themed! During these two weeks we concentrated on cutting skills, drawing of shapes, and counting and colouring. We worked on our fine motor skills where we had to do some tearing and sticking. The Hoppers told me this was a big job teacher C. (so funny)
For FunFit Sports this week, Coach Trevor continued improving our hand-eye coordination with catching and batting. Our Happy Hoppers are getting so good with this activity.
Yoga Day
Today was Dinosaur Yoga.
We marched and stomped, roared like a Dinosaur, balanced like an airplane, rolling around in happy baby pose and calmed our breath like a baby Dinosaur.
Ending off with a sequence of a tree, cat, cow, dog, snake poses.
Just one week left of term two, gosh where has the time gone.
Thank you for all the support we got on Concert Day. This was truly well supported in spite of the weather being cold. We still had a blast at our Space Concert.
See you next time, little dino explorers! Keep roaring and discovering!
Keep warm this weekend!
