Using the woodland and garden areas of Kirkleatham Museum, pupils take part in a dinosaur hunt, finding up to 20 hidden Jurassic animals.
Each animal will be hidden in a different position and location, which pupils will mark out on a map of the hunt area. Once each dinosaur is found, pupils fill in a prescribed sentence, identifying the animal name, position and location.
This session lasts for 45 minutes and is suitable for 35 pupils - £45
To create a dinosaur guide – 1 page per pupil. Image of dinosaur to add labels to (head, tail, claws etc.). Use variety of art techniques to dinosaur skin (colour / pattern / texture). Categorise according to diet. Find out additional info about how their chosen dinosaur lived.
Undertake an archaeological dig and find dinosaur skeletons. Look at what is a fossil & where ‘local’ finds have been made. Make a fossil, using air hardening clay (these would then be suitable for painting back in school). Fossil rubbing.
