Class 2 have been using story stones to think of their own dinosaur facts! They were able to think of a fact, verbalise it, count the words and then write it down. They could also extend their thinking by explaining verbally more about their fact!
For example,
Alex told me “a stegosaurus has long spikes on his tail to fight away a Tyrannosaurus rex because he’s trying to eat him with his long, sharp teeth because he’s a carnivore”
Kai: “He hunts meat like other dinosaurs that’s why he has sharp claws.”
Layla G: “palaeontologists find the fossils, that’s how we know they were really here ages and ages ago.”
