The dinosaur research team has been investigating what the world may have been like for dinosaurs and creating a "Dinosaur World" in our sensory bin.
We looked at books about dinosaurs that we found in the school library or that friends brought from home.
We made a list of all of the things we thought our dinosaur world should have.

We started to use materials from the art studio to create the trees and plants that the plant eating dinosaurs would need. We looked at at cone and used it to help us make a volcano. We saw the circle shape on the base and cut a circle from paper which we wrapped around itself to make our cone shaped volcano. We use lots of glue and tissue paper to make the outside of our volcano rough like rocks on the surface of a mountain.
After the glue dried we started to paint it to look like rocks and dirt. We mixed colours and some of us noticed we "invented" a new colour that we had never seen. It was a mix of brown, grey and black and we tried to create a name for our new colour. "Brack"
We have experimented with snow and ice and wondered about how long it would take to melt. We collected snow from outside last week and left it to melt over night. We saw a lot of dirt left behind in the bucket of water. It was a great reminder not to eat the snow that was on the ground! Yuck!
We melted ice cubes and used salt to make ice cubes stick together. We had fun watching the ice slip around like "skaters"
