How Dinosaurs Really Work - Week 6

The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words - Deinos( terrible) and Sauros (lizard) - but no dinosaur was actually a lizard and only some were terrible. Alan Snow's quirky way of exploring facts about dinosaurs is bound to hook learners in. Watch out for the corny jokes! The activities in this Year 5 English Lesson are clearly linked to objectives for composition, comprehension, grammar and punctuation using the book as the stimulus to learning. The engaging ideas provide super starting points for KS1 learning and are driven by probing questions.
