In this hands-on workshop, pupils come face to face Sophie, the most complete Stegosaurus fossil in the world.
Taking on the role of palaeontologists, pupils put together massive 3D jigsaw stegosaurs and examine different parts of the dinosaur's anatomy to understand what they can tell us about Sophie's lifestyle.
Curriculum links: Working scientifically; animals; including humans; living things and their habitats; number and place value; geometry - properties of shapes
Taking part in the Super Stegosaurus workshop was a fantastic way to collaborate and consolidate learning as our Year 2 children have been learning about dinosaurs in their history topic.
The workshop was age appropriate, engaging, fun and interactive, giving them an experience that will last them a lifetime.'
