John Locke Academy Learn All About Dinosaurs

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at John Locke Academy have been studying dinosaurs and learning all about prehistoric animals.  The term topic entitled “Stomp, Stomp Roar” has certainly encouraged the children with writing and vocabulary development as well as helping them to learn about the wider world.  As part of their topic, a dinosaur expert from Everything Dinosaur was invited in to deliver a dinosaur workshop to Foundation Stage.  The enthusiastic, young palaeontologists certainly enjoyed handling the fossils and learning all about how the armoured Ankylosaurus kept safe and how Triceratops used its horns.
