We're Going On A Dinosaur Hunt!
10 August 2012

Kids always love the theme dinosaurs and my students had been bugging me to learn about them!

To begin our dinosaur theme we became Paleontologists! 

Use the 3 different explorer templates available here

There are running, jumping and thinking body templates and a hat template.

We painted our Paleontologists khaki green and then cut them out. We attached a photo of each child's head to their body they created.

We then added the Paleontologists to our dinosaur themed bulletin board. We talked about what we thought each different explorer was doing. Eg

 

  • the running template was runing away from a newly found dinosaur
  • the thinking template was discovering some new facts about their favourite dinosaur
  • the jumping template was jumping because they were so excited to find some new dinosaur bones
During the first week we learnt about what a Paleontologist does and completed some writing which will later be attached to our mini explorers to go into each child's portoflio.

To go with our Palentologists we also completed some name dinosaurs. This great free template is available from
