Dinosaurs- Nursery

Nursery – Dinosaurs

This half term we have been learning all about dinosaurs! We first discovered an egg in our outdoor area which was protected by leaves and twigs. There were lots of discussions about where the egg came from and what might be inside. We observed the egg for a period of time and all of a sudden it began to crack. Inside was a baby T- Rex. 

From this, the children immersed themselves in the topic of dinosaurs. We made our own salt dough dinosaur fossils, went on a dinosaur hunt, and discovered the different features and names of dinosaurs as well as creating digital pieces of prehistoric art. 

The main event was of course the educational visit from Teach-Rex. A very large and very special dinosaur called ‘Jam’ came to visit us. We all were super brave and gave his chin a tickle and some of us even pretended to get eaten by him. 

We then got to take a closer look at some baby dinosaurs and learned all about their features and what they eat.
