Learning Reflections!

We interviewed the kindergarteners to find out what their favourite dinosaur activities were, and what they learned.  Here are some of their responses...

Environments

This week we made dinosaur environments out of play-dough! Here are some pictures of students with their dioramas.

Fossils

Last week we learned about fossils.  We made our own imprint fossils out of play-dough!

Dinosaur Masks

The kindergarteners made dinosaur masks and used themselves to make dinosaur patterns.

Herbivores and Carnivores

On Monday we talked a lot about "plant-eaters" and "meat-eaters". For one lesson, we did an experiment to see what it might look like inside different dinosaurs' stomachs. We put the contents into sandwich bags so the students could feel each 'stomach'. Some words the students used to describe the way they felt was "mushy, squishy, and chunky!"

Colourful Eggs

On Wednesday we decorated dinosaur eggs using a variety of different materials including paint, pastel chalk, crayons and more!

Dinosaur Patterns

Today we talked about many features of dinosaurs including size, colour, length of tail and neck, plates and spikes, and the amount of legs different dinosaurs stand on. Here are some videos of patterns that students made using the dinosaurs.
