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.

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.
