Thank You Letters from Year 1

Forden Church in Wales School Send in Letters

Following our morning of dinosaur workshops with Year 1 children at Forden Church in Wales School, we challenged the Year 1 children to write in to Everything Dinosaur to tell us about what they have learned and what their favourite part of the workshop was.  We received a lovely set of thank you letters from the class.

Arthur wrote in to say that he enjoyed holding the fossils.  We loved the Tyrannosaurus rex model that Arthur chose to illustrate his thank you letter with.  Jack liked learning new words, he now knows where on a dinosaur is the skull.  Can he point to his own skull?  Now that’s a good test for a budding scientist.

Writing Extension Activity from Everything Dinosaur

Mrs Davies (class teacher) explained:

“Year 1 children have written to thank you for the fabulous morning you shared with us.  They have been learning how to take photographs on the iPad and import them into a different document.  We hope you enjoy reading them.”

We certainly enjoyed all the letters that we received from Forden Church in Wales School, our dinosaur and fossil experts tend to get a lot of correspondence from schools and we enjoy reading them all.  Chloe chose to illustrate her typed letter with a Stegosaurus, she thanked us for letting her hold the fossils and she liked learning about the dinosaur skull.

Thank You Letters from Schoolchildren

In Jodie’s letter she explained how much she enjoyed taking part in the activities and that she had been amazed by how cold some fossils can feel.  In our dinosaur and fossil themed workshop we made sure that there were lots of opportunities for the budding young palaeontologists to handle fossils, even some gigantic ones!

A big thank you from Everything Dinosaur to the children in class 1 (Faye, Logan, Ellie, Evan, William, Hollie, Jessica, Arthur, Jack, Chloe and Jodie) for sending in such super letters.

Year 1 at Forden Church in Wales School Send Letters

The children in Year 1 at Forden Church in Wales School have been studying dinosaurs and prehistoric animals this term.  The young scientists have been learning all about fossils and life in the past.  A team member from Everything Dinosaur visited the school for a morning last month to show the children fossils and to teach them about dinosaurs.  Our fossil expert challenged the children in Year 1 to write letters to Everything Dinosaur and sure enough, yesterday, we received a lovely set of dinosaur themed letters from the children.

William now knows that Spinosaurus was bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex.  Hollie was amazed by all the fossils and she enjoyed playing the games.

Thank You Letters

Hollie chose to illustrate her thank you letter to Everything Dinosaur using a model of a Pteranodon (flying reptile).  Jodie was amazed by all the fossils and she now knows that when you touch a fossil it feels cold!  Jodie also chose to illustrate her letter with a Pteranodon.  Jessica on the other hand, selected a wonderful model of a duck-billed dinosaur, a big plant-eater called Parasaurolophus for her letter.  She liked having her picture taken with the fossils.
