'Discover Dinosaurs' is a unique, factual and fun half day workshop that can be run as a morning or afternoon session, lasting approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. It is a great workshop to enrich Dinosaur and fossil topics at school, for school enrichment days, reward sessions, holiday clubs and activity groups.

 

Teaching Talons provides all equipment and materials and with at least two of our experienced presenters running the workshops you can sit back and relax whilst we teach and entertain the children!

 

Discover Dinosaurs workshop example itinerary-

•Learn how a fossil is formed and see some for yourself!

•Real and museum standard replica fossils including genuine ammonites, trilobites, belemnites, fossilised fish and even fossilised wood that are millions of years old!

•Investigate how dinosaurs became extinct and recreate a mini meteorite strike.

•Dinosaur inspired arts and crafts to take home, including creating your own fossil rubbing.

•Fossils created lots of confusion when they were first discovered, can you guess what each fossil is or where it went on the dinosaur?

•Meet the animals and compare them to extinct, prehistoric creatures! Are there any dinosaurs alive today?

•Colourful dinosaurs activity

"We would recommend highly Teaching Talons for a fun, engaging and informative Dinosaur Workshop. Our Year 3s loved handling the fossils and other amazing artefacts and were thrilled at being allowed to touch cockroaches, snails, tortoises and a bearded dragon."

"Year 2 had a wonderful learning experience when Teaching Talons came to visit. We learnt how dinosurs became extinct and saw a wide range of fossils. After, we created fossil rubbings and made our own dionsaurs out of paper plates. We also met a wide range of animals including a large frog and owl. We were delighted with the learning the children showed."
