Dinosaur Planet

Project Overview

Develop children’s knowledge of prehistory with our comprehensively resourced history project, Dinosaur Planet. Our high-quality teaching resources help Year 1 children learn about dinosaurs and fossils, and the amazing discoveries of palaeontologists such as Mary Anning.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
