Current Topic

This topic follows the children's interest in dinosaurs. Through classification, matching, and other activities, they will learn about dinosaur names and characteristics such as the largest, smallest, which had the most horns, the longest necks and about meat eaters vs plant eaters. The children will be introduced to the concept of finding information from a dinosaur fossil/skeleton, for example, its size and what it looked like. They will be introduced to the timeline as they explore how long ago dinosaurs lived and how they became extinct. Scientific experiments such as erupting volcanoes will set the scene of the land and environment so long ago and many other hands-on activities will link the children's learning to all the areas of the curriculum.
