children chipping away at a salt dough shaped egg

Today the children arrived to find a nest of eggs in the classroom!

They pretended to be  palaeontologists and had to find all the fossil eggs to excavate. 

The children were so enthusiastic that they spent their playtimes hunting for 'clues' as to where the dinosaur had been and come from!

What a super way to start our autumn topic!
