Palaeontology Practise
We had to be very gentle so we didn’t break the fossils or bones
After learning about fossils, we had a go at making our own! Bones, ammonites (ammonoidea) and dinosaur footprints.
Dinosaur Diets
We dissected dinosaur poo
– if we found only plants, it was from a herbivore
– if we found only bones and feathers, it was a carnivore
– if we found a mixture of both, it was an omnivore!

Treasure Hunt
While on a journey to find things that are living, once lived and never lived, we found some clues that took us on a treasure hunt around our local area that ended with a big pot of gold!
