A great way to end our Dinosaur 'Roar' topic with a very special treat. The children had a wonderful time digging for fossils, carefully uncovering their discoveries and talking about what they found and learned, showing great curiosity and developing their communication and language skills. It also gave them a valuable opportunity to share what they have learnt over the last half term, recalling knowledge and building confidence in speaking with others. To make it even more exciting, we had a special visit from a baby T-Rex. The children were very excited! It was a memorable experience for everyone and a lovely opportunity to support their understanding of the world through hands-on exploration. ### EYFS Fossil Dig and T-Rex visit
