\"\"<\/a>This term SK have been learning all about dinosaurs!\u00a0 We have researched their names, features, environments, characteristics and evolution\u2026 we\u2019re pretty much dinosaur experts!<\/p>\n

This week, we used an art book to teach us how to draw and paint our favourite dinosaurs.\u00a0 We discovered you have to draw them in steps, starting from the head, then you add the neck, body and legs.\u00a0 Of course, paleontologists cannot be 100% sure what colours each species of dinosaur was, so we made our own interpretations.<\/p>\n

After completing our pencil drawings, we took the time to mix water colour paints and carefully decorate our dinosaurs.\u00a0 Can you see the stripes, spots and patterns in our pictures?<\/p>\n

At first, we thought we were just doing an art activity, then we realised that we were actually practising our fine motor skills as we carefully mixed and painted our water colours.\u00a0 Would you believe we practised them again when we cut our dinosaurs out using the art scissors?\u00a0 Finally, using the phonices we have learned this year, we labelled our pictures with the dinosaurs\u2019 names.\u00a0 We think that maybe Miss Claire tricked us into \u2018thinking\u2019 we were just drawing and painting, when really we were practising so many other skills too!<\/p>\n

Come and visit Kindergarten classroom, where you will not only see our dinosaur art work, but our dinosaur fact book\u2026full of our made-up dinosaurs and their characteristics!\u00a0 Dinosaurs really are alive in SK this term!<\/p>\n
