It tell us that I we are constantly looking for the next bright wonder, we will lose the wonder that we have right here. We will take our planet for granted and eventually ruin it. The book is very fun and beautifully illustrated and the children in my class where fascinated by the dinosaurs! It is nice to see children so engaged and interested in our planet and this book was a key tool for getting the children talking about the environment and it gave me lots of ideas of lessons I could do with children. Video– shows the children how to add and subtract using a numberline (if you would like to view the powerpoint used in the video it is here). There are also some question prompts in the corner of the slides for further discussion.

The dinosaur explains that the earth belongs to everyone. Could you use this message on a poster / banner? Handwriting sheet here– Complete the handwriting either on a printed copy of sheet 1 or use your writing book to copy the words in and write each word 3 or 4 times using correct formation. These words are our high frequency words. Read them through before writing. One small step for man, one giant pile of rubbish left behind! Man’s dream to reach the stars leaves the world in ruins and disturbs the sleeping dinosaurs. Will they wake up and save planet Earth? Upon arriving, it is not the lush (grass is greener scenario) planet that he fantisised about; rather, it is barren and life less. He sees another distant star; his planet that he doesn't recognise as his own. The irony of his blindness is apparent as he sets off and sets to discover IT, still with his take all, share nothing attitude. Extension Introduce compass directions, London is SE, Bristol SW etc. Discuss whether the places you are plotting are urban or rural. Discuss the difference.Essentially it is like that classic documentary One Million Years BC, but with better dinosaurs, more rubbish and without Raquel Welsh, or indeed anybody else in furry underwear. Sheet– same activity but focusing on numbers within 10. If your child is not ready to relate addition and subtraction yet. Please just focus on finding the addition number sentences to go with each picture, using the rule of commutativity (e.g. 2+3=5 so 3+2=5) Daily Well being: Connect – Post a card to a friend or family member: Ideas for how to make a home made card

I've owned this book for nearly 30 years, but I don't like it that much really. It's one of those "we're destroying our world" books - and yes, I do think we still need them, and I hope people are still writing new ones for each new batch of children that come along, but this one just feels a little preachy.This is a two-sessionspelling seed for the book Dinosaurs and All that Rubbish by Michael Foreman. Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014. The book encourages us to look after our Earth and its vegetation and wildlife, since one day we may also be looking down on it from space and see a bare planet.

Video– This is a lesson on related facts and fact families. In this lesson, they will work practically to find links between the addition and subtraction sentences. They will represent this on ten frames using small objects. They should recognise that addition and subtraction are inverse operations.

You won’t be able to bring any bags over 40 x 25 x 25cm into the venues, so please leave large bags at home. We're cash-free This story is a good example that we should be teaching people at a young age, that we are all responsible for the well being of our planet.

Introduce the idea that different faiths have special books which are important to them. Remind children that the Bible is a special book for Christians and explain that for Muslims who are followers of Islam, the Qur’an is their special book. Show children a Qur’an if you can. Ask children to share any knowledge or experiences they might already have about the Qur’an. Discuss the sentences first and children to write them. Remember capital letters and full stops. ****Please submit this piece to Google Classroom*** Hello! We have written a introduction letter to explain the format of the blog and to try and help you navigate it. Please do take the time to read through this before looking at the blog as we hope that it will help make it easier to navigate what is clearly a low of new information!Watch ‘ The Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish’ up to ‘Dancing dinosaurs broke up the roads.’ What do you think the dinosaurs would think of how the world looks now? What do you think they will want to do about it? The book begins with the lines: “A man stood on a hill and looked at a star. All he thought about, dreamed about, was the star.” It follows a businessman who will do anything to travel to space, even if he has to destroy his own planet to get there. When he finally reaches the faraway star – a barren planet with “no trees, no flowers, and not a blade of grass” – he starts to think that maybe Earth wasn’t that bad in the first place. Joe Dunthorne: Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish is a children’s story fit for our era of climate crisis Plus we have arranged all of the printables into one folder as we know some people last time wanted to print it all in one go. A link to that folder is here. For the following session you can use an atlas if you have one or use this online tool: https://kids.britannica.com/kids/browse/atlas
