Dinosaur Discoveries - Teaching Notes

A comprehensive set of teaching notes and related resource sheets for six cross curricular, creative, dinosaur themed activities for children aged 7 - 11. Designed to creatively develop skills in reading and research, art and design, maths and creative writing, each activity takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete.

There are lots of resources available to develop a child’s maths and English skills but very little with a focus on develop creativity across the curriculum. As an experienced primary school teacher, the author knows the power and positive impact gained through harnessing a child’s innate creativity on both their their engagement and learning potential. All the activities have been tried and tested with primary school children across the country.

Dinosaurs have long been a source of great inspiration and fascination to children so these activities encourage them to find out more and use what they have learned to create their very own, unique, but totally believable dinosaur.
The material is presented on a downloadable PDF document to help children learn the skills needed, provides clear self assessment criteria to enable them to evaluate their work and identifying areas for celebration and further development.

Each activity is designed to take between 2 and 3 hours and to be a fun, as well as an educational, learning experience.
