Dinosaur Drawings and Letters from Year 2 (Great Wood Primary School)
Dinosaur Drawings and Letters from Year 2 (Great Wood Primary School)
Our thanks to the budding scientists at Great Wood Primary School in Morecambe (Lancashire), who sent into our offices some wonderful dinosaur illustrations and a set of beautifully written letters explaining how much they enjoyed their recent dinosaur workshop with one of our team members. As part of our extension activity suggestions with the Year 2 classes we challenged them to design their very own prehistoric animal. We received lots of amazing dinosaur designs.

Writing Thank You Letters
The teachers very kindly sent in thank you letters that the children had written. Writing a thank you letter to Everything Dinosaur is a great way for the teaching team to check learning and understanding following a recounting activity. This letter writing exercise helps young learners practice sentence sequencing, planning their composition, as well as spelling and the layout and format of a letter. The children can also read their letters out aloud as part of a further teaching activity within the classroom.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We try to provide additional teaching resources when we visit a school to deliver a dinosaur themed workshop. In addition, during our workshop with the class the opportunity often arises to challenge the children to produce a piece of work, such as their very own dinosaur design or to write a thank you letter. In this way, we are providing extension ideas to the teaching team and supporting the teacher’s scheme of work.”
