The size of a dinosaur’s foot and stride length compared to our own amazed Years 4 and 5, whilst Year 3 discovered the dinosaur they were investigating could just fit on our garden Astro if it laid down diagonally. Year 4 also used a green screen to create news reports whilst Year 6 became experts in using stop motion animation.  Year 2 were hard at work excavating dinosaur bones!  Art teacher Mrs. Dickson led a huge, 3 metre-tall, collaborative piece of art which every pupil in the school contributed to on the day.  The result was this fantastic, multi-coloured, multi-patterned dinosaur artwork that is now up on display in the main hall.  Well done girls for getting stuck into all aspects of Dinosaur Day!
