Dino dig and find

6th Mar 2026
In Ash class, we were exploring the role of palaeontology and how they find dinosaur fossils. The children eagerly dug into chalk eggs using specialised tools, uncovering hidden dinosaurs and discovering the wonders of fossils firsthand. They were able to identify different types of dinosaurs and their unique features. This multi-sensory approach to topic based learning really engaged the children and they had so much fun.
