Paleontologists for the day

In Room 7 we have been learning about dinosaurs.

We are very interested particularly in fossils.

The children became paleontologists for the day and went digging for dinosaur bones in the garden. Here are the steps we had to follow.

1. Find your coloured peg so you know where to dig.

2. Very carefully dig where the peg is.

3. Once your fossil is revealed brush it very gently with the paint brush to remove any dust and dirt.

4. Carefully pick up the fossil as it is very delicate.

5. Make a prediction about what dinosaur bones you think you have found.

6. Cover the dinosaur with special protection paper.

7. Carry the fossil back to the Room 7 museum.

8. Once at the museum study the fossil more to see what dinosaur bones you have found!
